Explanatory Notes

Territorial extent and application

9 The Bill will have UK extent and will require a Legislative Consent Motion from the Scottish Parliament on the basis that it contains provisions applying to Scotland which alter the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament and the executive competence of the Scottish Ministers. Given the nature of the Bill, it is not anticipated that any issues will arise in relation to the Scottish Government sponsoring a Legislative Consent Motion.
