Territorial extent and application
Clause 13 sets out the territorial extent of the Act, that is the jurisdictions which the Act forms part of the law of. The extent of an Act can be different from its application. Application is about where an Act produces a practical effect. The Act extends to England and Wales only, with the exception of Clause 13 and paragraphs 8 to 11 of the Schedule. Clause 13 extends to the whole of the United Kingdom. Paragraphs 8 to 11 of the Schedule contain consequential amendments that have the same extent as the enactment amended. Where a provision may have effects beyond England and Wales, this is reflected in the commentary on that provision.
