Commentary on provisions of the Act Enforcement Section 28: Power to give directions: safety, security etc
Subsection (1) of this section gives the regulator power to give directions to a regulated person under the Act in the interests of health or safety.
	Subsections (2) to (4) give the Secretary of State power to give directions to the regulator or the regulated person under the Act in the interests of health or safety, spaceflight security, national security or relations with another country.
	There are definitions of "spaceflight security", "act of violence" and "regulated person", in subsections (6), (7) and (8).
	Subsection (7) is modelled on section 10 of the Aviation Security Act 1982. This subsection provides that if the behaviour, irrespective of where in the world it occurs, would constitute behaviour that would amount to one of the listed offences, then it is an act of violence as defined. The reference to the Scottish offence of malicious mischief has been made because the elements of that offence are different to the other offences listed.
