CRIMINAL LAW, SCOTLAND

Made 18th March 1991

Laid before Parliament 2nd April 1991

Coming into force 23rd April 1991

Whereas it appears to the Secretary of State that there has been a change in the value of money since 4th April 1984, being the date of the Increase of Criminal Penalties etc. (Scotland) Order 1984^f1(“the 1984 Order”), the previous Order made under section 289D(1) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1975^f2; and

Whereas the sum substituted by this Order for the sum specified in the relevant provision mentioned in section 289D(1A) of that Act (which lastmentioned sum was substituted by article 7 of the 1984 Order) appears to him to be justified by that change;

Now, therefore, the Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by section 289D(1) and (4) of that Act and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf, hereby makes the following Order:
