Section 8: Short title, commencement and extent
36.Subsection (1) specifies the short title of the Act.
37.Subsection (2) confers a standard commencement power on the Treasury. It permits different provisions to be commenced on different dates.
38.Subsection (3) provides that a commencement order may contain such transitional provisions as the Treasury deems necessary.
39.Subsection (4) clarifies the position on the extent of the Act to Northern Ireland. The main substantive provisions of the Act will not extend to Northern Ireland but this provision makes it clear that sections 5 and 6, together with sections 7(1) and (3), which relate to powers to make consequential amendments, will extend to Northern Ireland where the underlying enactments being amended so extend.
40.Subsection (5) permits the Act to be extended to the Channel Islands by Order in Council. Any Order may make modifications to the Act in its application to the Channel Islands.
