Commentary on provisions of Act Section 9: Power to amend maximum financial penalties
This section provides that the Secretary of State may, where it is considered expedient to do so, make regulations to amend the maximum amount of the financial penalties for the purposes of reflecting changes in the value of money. These regulations may also make transitional, transitory or saving provision to ensure that there is a smooth transition from one upper limit to another. Regulations under this section are to be made by negative procedure and can be annulled by resolution of either House of Parliament.
