Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 February 2026

Debate

Scotland Act 1998 (Modification of Schedule 5) Order 2026

Contribution

It is with that context in mind that I turn to the detail of the Section 30 order before this House. The first matter to be addressed is why we have brought forward a Section 30 order, as opposed to other Scotland Act orders. The Government consider all requests for Scotland Act orders carefully: they look at what, if any, provisions under the Scotland Act may be appropriate. This, of course, includes Section 104 as well as Section 30.
