Commentary on Provisions Part 3 – Final provisions Section 62: Ancillary provision
142.This section gives the Scottish Ministers a freestanding regulation-making power to make any incidental, supplementary, consequential, transitional, transitory or saving provision that they consider appropriate for the purposes of, or in connection with, or for giving full effect to, this Act or any provision made under it.
143.Subsection (2) allows such regulations to modify any legislation, including this Act itself: in doing so the regulations would be subject to the affirmative Parliamentary procedure. Otherwise they are subject to the negative procedure.
