2. Such other guidance will be published in 2019
3. Point (2) takes effect as regards each local authority eight years after the coming into force of its first allotment site regulations made under section 115(1) of the Act.
4. See section 107 of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 for full definition.
5. This power may also be used for the purposes of functions conferred on a local authority by certain other legislation, but this does not include functions conferred by the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015. This is because 'enactment' in section 70 of the 1973 Act does not include an enactment comprised in, or in an instrument made under, an Act of the Scottish Parliament (by virtue of the Interpretation Act 1978).
6. The power in section 73 of the 1973 Act is now subject to sections 117 and 118 of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015, which provide that a local authority may not dispose etc. of any allotment site which it owns or leases without the consent of the Scottish Ministers.
