Section 2 amends section 118 of the 1983 Act to extend to Wales the same requirement to include a statement of principles in the Code, and include in the Code the same principles and ensure the Code addresses the same specific matters in relation to each principle, as is required in relation to the Code in England.
	The effect of this change is that Welsh Ministers are required to include the four principles (choice and autonomy, least restriction, therapeutic benefit, and the person as an individual), and ensure the Code addresses the same specified matters in relation to each of the four principles, when preparing the Mental Health Act Code of Practice for Wales. Those to whom section 118(2D) applies must have regard to the Code, must also have regard to the statement of principles in the Code and therefore will be required to have regard to the four principles when making decisions under the 1983 Act.
	The Welsh Code is already required to undergo Welsh Parliamentary scrutiny, but the Section also updates the position in relation to the Parliamentary scrutiny procedure in Wales, in relation to the Welsh Code.
