Section 42: Extent, commencement and short title, European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020

Subject to subsections (2) to (5), this Act extends to England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Any provision of this Act which amends or repeals an enactment has the same extent as the enactment amended or repealed.

Accordingly, section 1 (but not section 2) also extends to the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and Gibraltar.

The power in section 36 of the Immigration Act 1971 or (as the case may be) section 60(4) of the UK Borders Act 2007 may be exercised so as to extend (with or without modifications) to the Isle of Man or any of the Channel Islands the modifications made to that Act by section 10 above.

Paragraphs 1 and 2 of Schedule 5, so far as they relate to the modification of any provision in subordinate legislation which extends outside England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, also extend there.

The following provisions—

sections 11, 16 and 17,

sections 20, 29 and 31 to 40 (including Schedule 4),

paragraphs 52(1) and (3) to (7) and 53(1) to (4), (6), (7)(a), (8)(a) and (9) to (13),

paragraphs 65 to 68,

(and section 41(4) and (6) so far as relating to any provision so far as it falls within any of sub-paragraphs (i) to (xii)), and

this section,

come into force on the day on which this Act is passed.

The provisions of this Act, so far as they are not brought into force by subsection (6), come into force on such day as a Minister of the Crown may by regulations appoint; and different days may be appointed for different purposes.

This Act may be cited as the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020.
