The Health Protection (Coronavirus) (International Travel) (Scotland) Amendment(No. 11) Regulations 2020 (SSI 2020/263) were laid before the Parliament on 28August 2020 and referred to the Health and Sport Committee.

They are laid under section 94(1) (International Travel) of the Public Health etc.(Scotland) Act 2008.

In such situations section122(7) applies.

At its meeting on 8 September 2020, the Delegated Powers and Law ReformCommittee considered the instrument and determined that it did not need to drawthe attention of the Parliament to the instrument on any grounds within its remit.

It is for the Health and Sport Committee to recommend to the Parliament whetherthe Regulations should be approved.
