Commentary on provisions of the Act Section 10: Power to make consequential provision
Section 10 sets out that by regulations made by statutory instrument, the Secretary of State may make provision that is consequential on other provisions in the Act. Regulations may amend Acts passed before this Act or during the same session of Parliament as this Act. Regulations that amend primary legislation will be subject to the affirmative resolution procedure, while any other regulations (for example those only dealing with amendments to statutory instruments) may be made by way of the negative resolution procedure.
