Part 2: General Sections 10 to 15 and Schedule 2: miscellaneous provisions
Sections 10 to 15 make provision relating to definitions; consequential amendments; transitional arrangements; extent; commencement; and short title.
	Section 11 introduces Schedule 2, which makes consequential amendments to other legislation in relation to the NCS Trust. The consequential amendments mean that the chair of the Trust is disqualified from standing for election to the House of Commons, and that the Trust is subject to the requirements of the Public Records Act 1958, the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Equality Act 2010.
	Paragraph 1 of Schedule 2 concerns eligibility for election to the House of Commons. In the government’s view it therefore does not fall within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales or the Northern Ireland Assembly. Schedule 2 to the Act does not, therefore, deal solely with devolved matters.
