Part 12: Final provisions

The Secretary of State may by order made by statutory instrument make—

such supplementary, incidental or consequential provision, or
such transitory, transitional or saving provision,

as the Secretary of State thinks appropriate for the general purposes, or any particular purpose, of this Act or in consequence of, or for giving full effect to, any provision made by this Act.

The power conferred by subsection (1) includes power to make different provision for different purposes (including different areas).

An order under subsection (1) may amend, repeal, revoke or otherwise modify—

an Act passed on or before the last day of the Session in which this Act is passed, or
an instrument made under an Act before the passing of this Act.

An order under this section which amends or repeals any provision of an Act may not be made unless a draft of the instrument containing the order has been laid before, and approved by resolution of, each House of Parliament.

A statutory instrument containing an order under this section which does not amend or repeal any provision of an Act is subject to annulment pursuant to a resolution of either House of Parliament.

In this section any reference to an Act (other than this Act) includes a reference to an Act of the Scottish Parliament.
