Explanatory note

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

These Regulations require persons having control or management of undertakings to comply with any request made to them by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (“SEPA”) for information relating to waste associated with that undertaking and which falls within the categories set out in regulation 4. The procedure for making waste information requests is contained in regulation 3 and includes details relating to making of requests to bodies corporate, limited liability partnerships and partnerships. Failure to comply with a waste information request is to be an offence punishable on summary conviction with a fine of up to level 5 on the standard scale (currently £5,000). The information obtained through the making of waste information requests will assist in compliance with Regulation (EC) No. 2150/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste statistics. A Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared and placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

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.
