Schedule 4 - Regulations: Restrictions on Powers of Devolved Authorities Requirement for consultation where it would otherwise be required
Paragraph 5(1) to 5(3) sets out for each of the devolved authorities that no regulations to which this Schedule applies may be made by a devolved authority acting alone so far as they contain provisions which would require consultation with a Minister of the Crown. This does not apply where the regulations are, to that extent, made after consulting with the Minister of the Crown.
	Paragraph 5(5) states that sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) do not apply if the provision could be contained in an Act of the Scottish Parliament, Senedd Cymru or the Northern Ireland Assembly, and consent or consultation with a Minister of the Crown would not be required in that instance.
	Paragraph 5(6) states that sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) do not apply if –
the provision could be contained in different subordinate legislation other than by using powers under this Act by the devolved authorities acting alone, and
consent or consultation with a Minister of the Crown would not be required in that instance.
