Part 8: Final Provisions Final provisions Section 54: Protection of Act against modification
This section inserts references to the UK Internal Market Act into the Scotland Act 1998, the Government of Wales Act 2006 and the Northern Ireland Act 1998, so that the Act is treated as a protected or entrenched enactment under each. This means that the Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales and the Northern Ireland Assembly may not pass legislation that amends the Act or modifies its application.
