The provisions in this Act cover England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland have separate legislation and both administrations have confirmed they do not wish to implement the provisions of this Act. The Act does not make provision in relation to any matters that are devolved to Wales. The Department of Justice in Northern Ireland has conducted a public consultation on reforming its riot compensation arrangements and is considering next steps.
