Amendment 2: Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) Bill: Stage 3
Amendment 2, in the name of the minister, changes “must” to “should” in new section 6B(4)(b) of the 1980 act—which, if the amendment is agreed to, will mean that the statutory guidance that is issued under the bill must include provision about the standard to which residential education should be provided. That reflects the fact that statutory obligations cannot be made through guidance, and is consistent with the wording of a provision elsewhere in section 6B(4). I am therefore very content to support amendment 2.
