This Act extends to England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
However, the application of an Act (which is about where an Act produces a practical effect) can be narrower than its extent and all of the measures will primarily only be applicable in Northern Ireland.
The Act covers matters which are devolved as well as matters that are reserved or excepted. A Legislative Consent Motion was passed by the Northern Ireland Assembly on 15 March 2016 in respect of the devolved and transferred matters.
