MICKYMACK Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I think there should be a thread illuminating the failure of the Scottish Government Government. Why did Sturgeon tell a USA audience that she may go to the Courts before she lets Scots know her plans? Why has the only piece of business to pass through Holyrood. in a whole year, been the Scottish Budget? Why did the SNP mislead business owners within the hospitality sector that their rates would be caped at 12.5% then clobber them with a further 2,25% with no mention of inflation, and the will have to pay the full increase and then claim it back. How are farmers getting on with their Delayed GB payments from the EU? Why is Scottish economic growth falling behind the UK figures? Inward investment in Scotland is being shelved because of concerns about another referendum. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to respond to the troll, but why do dumb Yoons keep saying this? Here's a list of Acts of the Scottish Parliament that are less than a year old: Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm (Scotland) Act 2016 received Royal Assent on 28th April 2016 Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 2016 received Royal Assent on 28th April 2016 Burial and Cremation (Scotland) Act 2016 received Royal Assent on 28th April 2016 Private Housing (Tenancies) (Scotland) Act 2016 received Royal Assent on 22nd April 2016 Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016 received Royal Assent on 22nd April 2016 Scottish Fiscal Commission Act 2016 received Royal Assent on 14 April 2016 Lobbying (Scotland) Act 2016 received Royal Assent on 14 April 2016 Higher Education Governance (Scotland) Act 2016 received Royal Assent on 13th April 2016 Health (Tobacco, Nicotine etc. and Care) (Scotland) Act 2016 received Royal Assent on 6th April 2016 That's a total of 9 Acts. In addition, the Scottish Parliament has passed over 100 pieces of secondary legislation (Regulations & Orders) in 2017 and over 400 in total in the whole of 2016 (I can't be bothered checking monthly totals, so some will be more than a year old) Can anyone give me the actual basis for the Unionists "No legislation in a year" claim?

Inward investment has been stalled in the UK because of Brexit, although it has picked up in Ireland. The battle will be to persuade international investors that an independent Scotland will provide a better European hub than Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a year since the last act. So they are factually correct. But 2016 is also factually the year with the most legislation passed since the parliament reconvened. I believe 22 acts were passed in 2016, you don't have the lot. edit for linkage http://www.legislation.gov.uk/asp/2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at my original post, you'll see that I gave the actual date that each Act passed into law. In every case, it's less than a year ago. The other acts passed in 2016 have actually been on the statute book for more than a year - that's why I didn't include them. I also note that you haven't addressed the fact that somewhere in the region of 500 Regulations & Orders have also been passed by the Scottish Parliament. Why is this legislation not being taken into account? Accordingly, I cannot agree with you that "they are factually correct" Edited to add: Your own link shows that 22 Acts were passed in 2016, not 16 as you state above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the normal timetable between a parliamentary vote and Royal Assent at Holyrood, given there's no upper house? If it takes a matter of months I believe this idiotic line of questioning by rattled yoons stands up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
