Part 7: General provision Section 96: Crown application
This section provides that sections 42, 73 and 88 of the Act apply to the Crown (but not so as to make the Crown itself, as opposed to persons in the service of the Crown, criminally liable). Chapter 1 of Part 2 and Chapter 1 of Part 3 apply to vehicles and persons in the public service of the Crown. Subsection (3) allows the Secretary of State to make regulations that bind the Crown for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 3 of the Act, being the investigation of incidents by statutory inspectors.
