Commentary on Sections Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 (c.16) Section 458: Commencement
686.This section provides that all substantive provisions of the Act will be brought into force by means of commencement orders. These orders will be made by the Secretary of State for those Parts applying wholly or in part to England & Wales and Northern Ireland, and by the Scottish Ministers for Part 3 and the necessary provisions of Part 12 as they apply to Scotland. Parts 5, 8 and 10 contain provisions that are limited to Scotland. The Secretary of State must therefore consult with Scottish Ministers when commencing these provisions.
