Territorial extent and application
Section 12 sets out the territorial extent of this Act. The extent of a piece of legislation refers to the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which it forms part of the law. The extent of an Act can be different from its application. Application concerns where an Act produces a practical effect, disregarding effects that are minor or consequential.
	Most provisions of this Act extend to England and Wales and apply to England.
	The provisions which amend the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 extend to England and Wales and Scotland. One set of amendments applies to England only and two apply to England and Wales. These are consequential amendments and minor technical corrections. The commentary on these provisions includes a paragraph explaining their extent and application.
