Territorial extent and application
9 The provisions of the Bill, with the exception of paragraph 4 of the Schedule, extend and apply to England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Paragraph 4 of the Schedule amends the 2017 Regulations and, like those regulations, extends and applies to England and Wales and Scotland only (see clause 3(1) and (2)).
10 The matters to which the provisions of the Bill relate are not within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales or the Northern Ireland Assembly, and no legislative consent motion is being sought in relation to any provision of the Bill. If there are amendments relating to matters within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales or the Northern Ireland Assembly, the consent of the relevant devolved legislature(s) will be sought for the amendments.
