Commentary on Provisions Part 10: Final Provisions Section 25: Ancillary provision
152.This section gives the Scottish Ministers a freestanding regulation-making power to make any incidental, supplementary, consequential, transitional, transitory or saving provision that they consider appropriate for the purposes of, or in connection with, or for giving full effect to, the Act.
153.Subsection (2) allows such regulations to modify any legislation, including the Act itself: in doing so the regulations would be subject to the affirmative Parliamentary procedure. Otherwise they are subject to the negative procedure.
