# The Private Legislation Procedure (Scotland) General Order 1992, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the General Orders made under section 15 of the Private Legislation Procedure (Scotland) Act 1936, which regulate the procedure for obtaining Parliamentary powers by way of Provisional Order in matters affecting Scotland.
The amendments made by this Order are designed partly to implement certain recommendations of the Joint Committee on Private Bill Procedure (including their recommendations as to the fees payable) and partly to bring the General Orders into line, so far as appropriate, with Standing Orders relating to private business in Parliament.
