Subject to the provisions of this section, this Act binds the Crown.

The Crown is not to be criminally liable under this Act.

Despite subsection (2), this Act applies to persons in the service of the Crown as it applies to other persons.

But the powers conferred by sections 4 and 5 are not exercisable in relation to premises occupied by the Crown.

In circumstances where, but for subsection (2), the Crown would be criminally liable under this Act, the High Court may make a declaration to that effect.

Nothing in this Act affects Her Majesty in her private capacity.

Subsection (6) is to be read as if section 38(3) of the Crown Proceedings Act 1947 (meaning of Her Majesty in her private capacity) were contained in this Act.
