Territorial Extent and Application Territorial application: Northern Ireland
21.The amendment to the 2006 Act in section 3 extends to Northern Ireland because the related provision of the 2006 Act also extends to Northern Ireland. The consent of the Northern Ireland Assembly to section 3 was obtained. Section 3 does not provide the Northern Ireland Ministers with any new powers.
22.While the advertising and trading provisions of the 2006 Act (to which sections 1 and 2 of this Act relate) extend to Northern Ireland, because no 2012 Games events will take place in Northern Ireland, and because it is not intended to make advertising and trading regulations for Northern Ireland, it is not necessary for sections 1 and 2 to extend to Northern Ireland.
