Territorial Extent
219.The greater part of the Act amends existing legislation, particularly the RTA and the RTOA, and the amendments generally have the same extent as the enactments amended. In consequence the majority of the Act's provisions extend to Great Britain. The exceptions are as follows:-
Sections 1, 2 and 52 to 55 extend only to England and Wales.
Sections 44 to 46 (after commencement of section 46), 47, 49(1) and 51(2) extend to the United Kingdom as a whole.
Section 49(2) extends only to Northern Ireland.
