EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


This Order modifies the National Parks (Scotland) Act 2000 by disapplying the provisions of paragraph 18 of schedule 1 to that Act (members' interests) in relation to members of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority and of the Cairngorms National Park Authority.

Those National Park authorities are included in the list of devolved public bodies contained in schedule 3 to the Ethical Standards in Public Life etc. (Scotland) Act 2000 ("the 2000 Act").

The 2000 Act requires members of a devolved public body to prepare a Code of Conduct based on the model code prepared under the 2000 Act.

The National Parks (Scotland) Act 2000 is modified to remove the specific requirements of paragraph 18 of Schedule 1 in relation to members' interests. The appropriate provisions of the Code of Conduct will apply in their place.
