1.These Explanatory Notes relate to the Assembly and Executive Reform (Assembly Opposition) Act (Northern Ireland) 2016, which received Royal Assent on 23 March 2016. They have been prepared in order to assist the reader in understanding the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by the Assembly.
2.The notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They do not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So, where a section or part of a section or Schedule does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given.
