This Order makes modifications to the Northern Ireland Act 1998 (c. 47) (“the 1998 Act”) and to the Northern Ireland Act 2000 (c. 1) (“the 2000 Act”). The modifications to the 1998 Act have effect while section 1 of the 2000 Act is in force (with the effect that devolved Government in Northern Ireland is suspended).

Article 3 modifies section 51B of the 1998 Act so as to allow the Secretary of State to exercise during suspension his powers in relation to reduction of financial assistance to political parties.
Article 4 inserts a new subsection in section 2 of the 2000 Act, the effect of which is that any directions made by the Secretary of State during suspension under section 47B or 51B of the 1998 Act shall cease to have effect on the restoration of devolved Government.
