Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments Sixth Report


Instruments reported


The Committee has considered the following instruments, and has determined that the special attention of both Houses should be drawn to them on the grounds specified.

1 S.I. 2003/2920: failure to comply with Statutory Instrument Practice

Consular Fees (Amendment) Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/2920)

1.1 The Committee draws the special attention of both Houses to this Order on the ground that it fails to comply with Statutory Instrument Practice.

1.2 This Order corrects an error in an amendment made by the Consular Fees Order 2003. In a memorandum printed at Appendix 1, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office acknowledges that the Order should have been made available free of charge to purchasers of the earlier Order, and should have borne an italic headnote to that effect, as required by paragraphs 3.4.11 and 3.4.12 of Statutory Instrument Practice. The Department regrets this error and is making appropriate arrangements. The Committee therefore reports this Order for a failure to comply with Statutory Instrument Practice.
