Trusts: Scotland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what discussions he has had with the Scottish Government on issuing a Scotland Act Order to permit the bringing into force of relevant sections of the Trusts and Succession (Scotland) Act 2024.
Answered by Kirsty McNeill
Scotland Act Orders are pieces of secondary legislation made under the Scotland Act 1998 and are used to implement, update or adjust Scotland’s devolution settlement. A Section 104 order is used to make provision which is considered necessary in consequence of any provision made by or under an Act of the Scottish Parliament.
My officials are working with Scottish Government officials to determine the scope of the request for a Scotland Act Order made in consequence of the Trusts and Succession (Scotland) Act 2024.
