Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Construction Contracts (Scotland) Exclusion Order 1998.
The Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46), section 69, appoints the Auditor General for Scotland and in accordance with section 70 of the Scotland Act 1998 the Auditor General for Scotland exercises new functions provided for in Scottish legislation. The amendment made by this Order is consequential upon the appointment of and conferral of functions to the Auditor General for Scotland.
The amendment provides that a body whose accounts are examined and certified by or are open to inspection of the Auditor General for Scotland fulfils one of the conditions to enter into a contract under the private finance initiative, which means that the contract is excluded from the operation of Part II of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996.
