This Order brings the Schedule into force on 1st September 1989 in relation to cases of detention or further examination arising on or after that date.

The Order also brings into force on that date paragraphs 8, 9, 18, 19, 28 and 29 of Schedule 4 to the Act which make provision in the different parts of the United Kingdom for the enforcement of restraint and forfeiture orders made elsewhere in the United Kingdom under paragraph 3 of Schedule 1 to, and section 13 of, the 1989 Act (which also came into force on 22nd March 1989) or in the Channel Islands or Isle of Man under those provisions as extended or under comparable local provision. (No Order has yet been made extending these provisions to the Islands.)
