Schedules Schedule 3: Exceptions to restrictions in the devolution settlements
Schedule 3 modifies the test for executive competence of the devolved authorities.
	Paragraph 1 makes provision in relation to the existing limit in section 57 of the Scotland Act 1998 (as amended by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020). It provides that the constraint on modification of retained EU law in that section does not apply to the making of regulations under sections 1 or 2.
	Paragraphs 2 and 3 make equivalent provision in respect of the Government of Wales Act 2006 and the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
	Paragraph 4 provides that the restrictions on the devolved executives making secondary legislation that is incompatible with EU law found in section 57(2) of the Scotland Act 1998, section 80(8) of the Government of Wales Act 2006 and section 24(1)(b) of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 do not apply to regulations made under sections 1(1) and 2(1).
