This Order amends the Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Prescription of Offices, Ranks and Positions) (Scotland) Order 2000 which prescribes offices, ranks and positions for the purposes of section 8(1) of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Scotland) Act 2000 (asp 11) ("the 2000 Act"), under which individuals holding such offices, ranks or positions are designated persons for the purposes of granting authorisations under sections 6 and 7 of the 2000 Act.
The amendment made is to delete the reference to the Scottish Crime Squad as a relevant public authority and to substitute a reference to the Operational and Intelligence Group of the Scottish Drug Enforcement Agency which is to replace the Scottish Crime Squad on 1st April 2001 (article 2).
