Collectively, the sections relating to NUAR make equivalent provision across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. To deliver this, specific changes need to be made to legislation extending to England and Wales, and equivalent legislation extending to Northern Ireland. Sections 56, 57(1) to (7), 60(1) and Schedule 1 therefore extend to England and Wales, whilst sections 58, 59, 60(2) and Schedule 2 extend to Northern Ireland.
	The NUAR provisions in the Act extend to England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Act does not make provisions for Scotland as Scotland already benefits from a system of this kind through the Scottish Community Apparatus Data Vault (VAULT), implemented by the Office of the Scottish Road Works Commissioner, which makes information about all underground pipes and cables in Scotland available from one centralised location.
