Select Committee on Regulatory Reform Twelfth Report

5 Extent of the proposal's application

21. The 1971 Act applies to England and Wales and to Scotland. The subject matter of the proposal is reserved under section C7 of Schedule 5 to the Scotland Act 1998. The Proposal therefore applies to Great Britain; Northern Ireland is not covered by the 1971 Act and is therefore excluded from the proposal. The Secretary of State has consulted the National Assembly for Wales about the proposal and the Assembly has given its support.
