Commentary on provisions of Act Section 4: Extent, commencement, transitional provision and short title
This Act extends to England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
	Section 4(2) provides that the Act comes into force at the end of the period of two months from the date on which it was passed.
	Section 4(3) is a transitional provision so that when HM Treasury exercises the power in section 104 of the 1986 Act for the purpose of assimilating to companies law for the use of common seals and the execution of documents, it may do so to assimilate modifications to companies law statutory provisions in force in Great Britain and Northern Ireland whether made before or after the coming into force of the Act.
