Part 1: General Order-Making Powers

Section 6: Consequential provision etc

25.Section 6 provides that an order under sections 1 to 5 may include consequential, supplementary, incidental or transitional provisions or savings. This includes a power to allow an order under sections 1, 2 or 5 transferring functions to make consequential provisions to modify the functions or constitutional or funding arrangements of the transferor or transferee. For example, this power could be used to amend the qualification requirements for members of a body if a new function is conferred on it under section 5.
