Part 4: General Section 48: Power to make further consequential provision
Section 48 gives the Secretary of State the power to make consequential, transitional, transitory or saving provision by regulations in relation to any provision in the Act, by statutory instrument. Such provision may amend, repeal, or revoke primary legislation if it has been approved by each House of Parliament. This provision covers legislation made by Parliament, by the Scottish Parliament, by Senedd Cymru, or through Northern Ireland legislation. Such regulations are to be made by the affirmative Parliamentary process if amending primary legislation, otherwise by the negative procedure.
	Section 48 also amends the Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000 and its power to make consequential amendment. Section 61 of the Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000 abolishes the sentence of detention in a young offender institution (known as "DYOI"), but it has never been put into effect. The section enables a power to make any amendments which would arise as a consequence of sentences of detention in young offender institutions (known as "DYOI") being abolished by that Act, to ensure an exact correspondence between the Sentencing Code (which would make the consequential amendments that would be required as a result of the abolition of DYOI) and this Act so that the DYOI provisions in this Act are legally effective.
