Introduction
5. Section 12 sets out the territorial extent of the Act, that is the jurisdictions in which the Act forms part of the law. The extent of an Act can be different from its application. Application is about where an Act produces a practical effect. The Act, and Part 7 of the 2000 Act for the purposes of this referendum, apply to the whole of the United Kingdom and Gibraltar.
6. The Act does not contain any provision which gave rise to the need for a legislative consent motion in the Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales or the Northern Ireland Assembly.
