Territorial extent and application
Section 17 sets out the territorial extent of the sections in the Act. The extent of an Act is the legal jurisdiction where it forms part of the law. The extent of an Act can be different from its application. Application refers to where it has practical effect.
	The Act forms part of the law of England and Wales and, subject to a few exceptions, applies to England and Wales. Sections 13 and 14 apply to England only, while section 15 applies to Wales only.
	See the table in Annex A for a summary of the position regarding territorial extent and application in the United Kingdom.
