154.Section 32 enables the Secretary of State in relation to reserved or excepted matters, and Welsh ministers in relation to provision that falls within their devolved legislative competence, to make consequential, supplementary, incidental or transitional provision relating to universal credit. The power could, for example, be used to amend legislation under which a benefit or advantage of some kind is provided by another body, and which requires a person to be entitled to a benefit that is abolished by this Act (often called passported benefits), so as to substitute a requirement that a person is entitled to an award of universal credit on a particular basis. It could also be used to make related provision such as provision for the Secretary of State to provide information to another body so that it can assess whether a person is entitled to the benefit concerned under the new requirement.
155.Regulations under this section may amend, repeal or revoke any relevant primary or secondary legislation.
