Clause 58
Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [Lords]
9:45 am
Ann McKechin (Glasgow North, Labour)
Where a local authority in Scotland becomes the primary authority for a company that operates in other parts of the United Kingdom, what would be the procedure if the primary authority wanted to enforce action in some other part of the United Kingdom? Would the relevant Minister still be required to take the authority of the Lord Advocate or a Minister of the Scottish Executive, who have no function outwith Scotland? Will my hon. Friend clarify the position?
