General Section 5: Consequential provision etc
Section 5 grants the Secretary of State a regulation making power to make provision that is consequential on any provision of the Act. This includes the power to amend, repeal or revoke primary or secondary legislation. The regulation making power must be exercised by statutory instrument. The regulations will be subject to the negative procedure (annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament), save where the Secretary of State proposes to make changes to primary legislation, in which case the affirmative procedure applies (where a draft of the instrument must be laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament).
	Section 5(6) highlights that minor and consequential amendments are made in Schedule 2.
