Section 32 – How particular powers are exercisable
143.Section 32 amends the 1974 Act by inserting a new section 10A, (“Order-making powers: Scottish Ministers”) into the 1974 Act. The new section 10A is inserted to ensure orders made by the Scottish Ministers under the existing provisions of the 1974 Act (i.e. made by virtue of Ministers’ devolved competence under the Scotland Act 1998) can include different provision for different purposes and can include ancillary provision. In addition, section 10A(2) provides that the Scottish Ministers can make consequential provision modifying enactments in cases where, in exercise of their devolved competence, they exercise the order-making power in section 5(11) of the 1974 Act.
