The Act Section 11: Commencement
46.Section 11(2) of the Act sets out that most of the provisions of the Act will come into force on the day after Royal Assent. Section 11(1) of the Act provides some exceptions to this and section 7(1), (3), (4), (5), (7), (8), (11) and (12) of the Act will come into force at the end of 30 September 2021 - this is because these provisions only need to take effect when the relevant provisions of the Scottish Acts are expired at the end of 30 September 2021.
