Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order makes modifications to Schedule 5 to the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46). That Schedule is concerned with matters which are outwith the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament.

The Order adds a further exception to the reservation at Section E2 (rail transport) of Part II of Schedule 5. The amendment will permit the Scottish Parliament to legislate in relation to the promotion and construction of railways, which start, end and remain in Scotland.
