Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

This Order makes amendments to primary and secondary legislation relating to sexual offences. The amendments are supplemental and consequential to the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009 (“the 2009 Act”). The Schedule sets out the amendments to both primary and secondary legislation. Part1 of the Schedule contains the amendments to primary legislation. These are primarily to update statutory references to the offences of assault and abduction with intent to rape to ensure that references to “rape” include the new statutory offences of rape and rape of a young child. In addition, Part1 amends the 2009 Act by adding assault and abduction with intent to the lists of alternative verdicts set out in schedule3 to that Act. Part2 of the Schedule makes similar amendments to references in secondary legislation to assault and abduction with intent to rape. That Part also makes further amendments to certain Scottish statutory instruments as a consequence of the creation of new statutory sexual offences.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
