General Section 41: Extent and application
122.This section sets out the territorial extent and application of the Act. The Act extends to the whole of the UK except for section 6 (Planning), 7(2) and 7(4) (Street Lighting and Cleaning), 10 to 18 (Transport) and 34 and 35, (relating to the Greater London Authority), which extend to England and Wales only, although they will only have territorial application to England. Section 36 (Regional development agencies) amends the Regional Development Agencies Act 1998, which extends to England and Wales only, and makes provision in relation to the purchase of land by regional development agencies established under the Act. The Act confers some regulation and order-making functions on the National Assembly for Wales in relation to advertising and trading restrictions as they are to be applied to venues in Wales which will stage Games events. Section 31 (sale of tickets) is to apply in respect of anything done in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. That means that a person may commit the offence of ticket touting outside the UK, for instance via the internet.
