Introduction
1.These Explanatory Notes have been prepared by the Northern Ireland Assembly Commission (“the Commission”) and the Committee on Standards and Privileges (“the Committee”) in order to assist the reader of the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by the Assembly.
2.These notes should be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. Therefore, where a section or part of a section or Schedule does not seem to require an explanation or comment, none is given.
