Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Advice and Assistance (Assistance by Way of Representation) (Scotland) Regulations 2003 (“the principal Regulations”) to make Assistance by Way of Representation (“ABWOR”) available for proceedings under the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 (“the 2015 Act”).

The proceedings for which ABWOR is made available are proceedings relating to the review of decisions relating to temporary exclusion orders (under section 11 of the 2015 Act) and proceedings relating to an application by a senior police officer under paragraph 8 of Schedule 1 to the 2015 Act for an extension of the 14-day period during which a travel document may be retained.

Regulation 2 adds these proceedings to the list of proceedings in regulation 3 of the principal Regulations for which ABWOR is available.

A Business Regulatory Impact Assessment (BRIA) has been prepared and placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre.
