Commentary on Provisions Final provisions Section 26: Ancillary provision
133.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, giving full effect to the Act or any provision made under it. 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.
