Territorial extent and application
Section 34 sets out the territorial extent of the Act; that is the legal jurisdiction of which the provisions of the Act are intended to form part of the law. The extent of an Act can be different from its application. Application is about where an Act produces a practical effect. In this Act, the extent is to the whole of the United Kingdom. The application of the Act is to the whole of the United Kingdom except section 29 which applies to England only.
	The matters to which the provisions of the Act relate are not within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament, Senedd Cymru or the Northern Ireland Assembly.
