Sex Discrimination (Public Authorities) (Statutory Duties) (Scotland) Order 2007 (SSI 2007/32)
Peattie, Cathy Lab Falkirk East Watch on SPTV
We come to agenda item 2. As members are aware, the Sex Discrimination (Public Authorities) (Statutory Duties) (Scotland) Order 2007 (SSI 2007/32) imposes specific duties on the Scottish public bodies that are listed in the schedule to the order. The stated purpose of those specific duties is to ensure better performance by the listed authorities of their general statutory duty to have due regard to the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination and harassment and to promote equality of opportunity between men and women in performing their functions. The order comes into force on 9 April 2007 and will remain in force unless it is annulled by the Parliament within 40 days of its being laid. No motion to annul has been lodged. Are members content with the order?
