Schedule 4 - Regulations: Restrictions on Powers of Devolved Authorities Requirement for consent where it would otherwise be required
Paragraph 3(1) provides that consent from a Minister of the Crown will be required before any provision is made by Welsh Ministers acting alone where the provision would require the consent of a Minister of the Crown.
	Paragraph 3(2) sets out that consent from the Secretary of State will be required before any provision is made in regulations by a Northern Ireland department acting alone where that provision would require the consent of the Secretary of State under section 8 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
	Paragraph 3(3) sets out that sub-paragraph (1) or (2) does not apply if the provision could be contained in subordinate legislation made without using the powers in this Act by the Welsh Ministers or a Northern Ireland devolved authority acting alone, and no consent would be required in that case.
	Paragraph 3(4) sets out that consent must be sought from a Minister of the Crown before any provision is made by a devolved authority acting alone where that provision would require consent from a Minister of the Crown if it were contained in –
subordinate legislation made other than using the powers under in this Act by the devolved authority, or
subordinate legislation not falling within paragraph (a) and made other than using the powers in this Act by the First Minister or Lord Advocate of Scotland or a Northern Ireland devolved authority of Northern Ireland acting alone.
	Paragraph 3(5) sets out that sub-paragraph (4) does not apply if the provision could be contained within an Act of the Scottish Parliament, Senedd Cymru or of the Northern Ireland Assembly; or different subordinate legislation referenced in sub-paragraph 4(a) or 4(b) and of a devolved authority acting alone or another person acting alone, and where no consent would be required in that instance.
