Commentary on Sections Section 13: Amendment of lists of responders
32.Subsection (1) enables a Minister of the Crown to amend the lists of Category 1 and Category 2 responders in Parts 1 and 3 of Schedule 1. Subsection (2) enables the Scottish Ministers to amend the list of Scottish Category 1 and 2 responders in Parts 2 and 4 of Schedule 1. In connection with any such amendment, subsection (3) enables the Minister and the Scottish Ministers to amend any other enactment (including the Act itself). For example, should a body which has functions in Wales be added to the list of Category 1 responders, it may be appropriate to amend section 16 (which provides for the involvement of the National Assembly for Wales in action under Part 1 of the Act). A person or body may be added either generally or in relation to specified functions only.
