# The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (Contingency Planning) (Scotland) Regulations 2005, Regulation 8: Role of Scottish Category 1 responders which do not have lead responsibility

Extent: S

(1) Paragraph (2) applies if a Scottish Category 1 responder has been identified as the responder with lead responsibility in a co-ordination area for the performance of a particular duty under section 2(1)(a) to (f) in relation to an emergency or an emergency of a particular kind under regulation 6 or, in the case of a general Category 1 responder, under an analogous provision in regulations made by a Minister of the Crown under Part 1.
(2) Where this paragraph applies, the other Scottish Category 1 responders which have functions which are exercisable in that co-ordination area and which are non-lead Category 1 responders in relation to that duty in so far as it applies to that emergency or an emergency of that particular kind–
(a) must co operate with the Scottish or general Category 1 responder with lead responsibility for performing that duty in connection with the performance of the duty by the Scottish or general Category 1 responder with lead responsibility;
(b) must provide any information to the Scottish or general Category 1 responder with lead responsibility for performing that duty which it considers will assist that responder in performing that duty (unless the information is sensitive information);
(c) must assist the Scottish or general Category 1 responder with lead responsibility for performing that duty with any exercises or training that that Scottish or general Category 1 responder wishes to carry out in connection with that duty; and
(d) need not perform that duty to the extent that to do so would unnecessarily duplicate the performance of that duty by the Scottish or general Category 1 responder which has lead responsibility for performing that duty in that co-ordination area.
