Section 48: Power to make consequential provision
248.Section 48 enables the Secretary of State, by regulations, to make provision consequential on the Act including consequential amendments to other enactments. Any such regulations that amend, repeal or revoke anything in primary legislation would be subject to the affirmative resolution procedure. Otherwise, the negative resolution procedure applies. The Secretary of State is required to consult the relevant devolved administration before making regulations under this section if any provision in those regulations would fall within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament, National Assembly for Wales or the Northern Ireland Assembly, if included in an Act of that Parliament or those Assemblies.
