Tourist Boards (Scotland) Act 2006 (Consequential Modifications) Order 2007

I agree with both of the previous speakers that these orders are benign and necessary. I want to ask the Minister one question, if she does not mind. The second order mentions agreements between the partners and agencies north and south of the Border in order to get the issues that arise from devolution sorted out. We are coming to a situation where it is possible that there will be a different political party in power in the Scottish Parliament to that at Westminster, which means that there will be considerable strain on such agreements—much more than there is at the moment. We all recognise that. Personally, I think that the Scotland Act is standing up well to the stresses and strains of events as they move forward; but as we develop such agreements it will be important that they stand. Can the Minister tell us whether those agreements are enforceable? Are they written agreements to which people have committed themselves? How will they stand up if there is a strain in the coming years imposed by having different political parties in power? She probably understands what I mean. It is important that the arrangements continue to work smoothly, particularly in relation to the police and the new police complaints commissioner in Scotland and how his or her arrangements will work south of the Border—and in relation to police pensions.
