Territorial Extent
13.The Act extends to England and Wales only, and applies only in relation to England, since an order under section 7 of the 2007 Act may be made only in relation to an English local authority.
14.This Act confers no powers on Welsh Ministers.
15.This Act does not contain any provisions falling within the terms of the Sewel Convention. Because the Sewel Convention provides that Westminster will not normally legislate with regard to devolved matters in Scotland without the consent of the Scottish Parliament, if there are amendments relating to such matters which trigger the Convention, the consent of the Scottish Parliament will be sought for them.
