The competition framework General Section 99: Consequential amendments, repeals and revocations
618.This section provides a power for Secretary of State to make changes to other legislation in consequence of the provisions of the Act. Where those changes include the transfer of functions from the OFT and CC to the CMA (such as the transfer of the OFT’s consumer enforcement powers), the functions may be modified to reflect the remit of the CMA. Any changes are to be made in an order subject to the affirmative or negative procedure. Where the changes are to an Act, an Act of the Scottish Parliament, a Measure of the National Assembly for Wales or Northern Ireland legislation, the order must follow the affirmative procedure.
