Part 5 – Miscellaneous Attributing criminal liability for economic crimes to certain bodies Section 197: Power to amend list of economic crimes
Section 197 provides a power to amend the list of offences in Schedule 12. The power is generally exercisable by the Secretary of State. Where it would be within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament or the Northern Ireland Assembly to make the amendment by primary legislation, the power is exercisable by the Scottish Ministers or the Northern Ireland Department of Justice (and not by the Secretary of State).
