Commentary on provisions of Act Section 24: Commencement and transitional provision
There are provisions which have come into force on the passing of the Act, but these are technical provisions relating to the duration of the AFA 2006, combining procedures for statutory instruments made under the AFA 2006, definitions, commencement, extent (including the provision about extent in section 17(5)) and the short title. In addition, the provision on the power of the British overseas territories to apply the AFA 2006 has come into force on Royal Assent. The other provisions come into force either two months after Royal Assent or are brought into force by commencement regulations.
	Under subsection (4), the Secretary of State may make transitional, transitory or saving provision by regulations in connection with the coming into force of provisions of the Act.
