Commentary on provisions of Act Section 67: Destination of fines, forfeitures and fixed penalties
This section adds a provision to the Scotland Act 1998 which allows the Secretary of State, with the consent of the Treasury, to make regulations to modify Acts or subordinate legislation, where sums are required or authorised to be paid into the Consolidated Fund.
	The Secretary of State is empowered to modify legislation to direct the sum into the Scottish Consolidated Fund, rather than the Consolidated Fund.
	Once legislation is modified by the Secretary of State through regulations; fines, forfeitures, and fixed penalties imposed by Scottish Courts will be routed to the Scottish Consolidated Fund, and retained by the Scottish Government.
