Annex A - Territorial extent and application in the United Kingdom
56 Clause 3 sets out the territorial extent of the Bill, that is the jurisdictions of which the Bill forms part of the law. The extent of a Bill can be different from its application. Application is about where a Bill produces practical effects. The Bill extends and applies to England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland (in the case of amendments, to the same extent as the provision amended).
57 The Bill will not change existing arrangements with respect to the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and British overseas territories but ensures that the power in the 2000 Act to extend the provisions of the 1978 and 2000 Acts to those islands and territories is preserved (*see clauses 3(2) and 3(3)).
