Modification of retained EU law

Scope of powers

9

(5A) Any subordinate legislation which is (or is to be) made, confirmed or approved by virtue of paragraph 3 is subject to the same procedure (if any) before Parliament, the Scottish Parliament, Senedd Cymru or the Northern Ireland Assembly as would apply to that legislation if it were amending or revoking an enactment contained in subordinate legislation made under a different power.

;

(11A) — (1) This paragraph applies to a power to make, confirm or approve subordinate legislation which is conferred— (a) on or after the day on which this Act is passed, and (b) before the day on which section 9 of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 comes into force. (2) The power is to be read, so far as the context permits or requires, as being capable of being exercised to modify (or, as the case may be, result in the modification of) any retained direct EU legislation or anything which is retained EU law by virtue of section 4. (3) But sub-paragraph (2) enables a power in retained direct minor EU legislation to be exercised to modify (or result in the modification of) any retained direct principal EU legislation or anything which is retained EU law by virtue of section 4 only if— (a) the modification is— (i) consistent with any retained direct principal EU legislation or anything which is retained EU law by virtue of section 4, and (ii) supplementary, incidental or consequential in connection with any modification of any retained direct minor EU legislation, or (b) the power is a power to make, confirm or approve transitional, transitory or saving provision. (11B) — (1) This paragraph applies to a power to make, confirm or approve subordinate legislation which is conferred on or after the day on which section 9 of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 comes into force. (2) The power is to be read, so far as applicable and unless the contrary intention appears, as being capable of being exercised to modify (or, as the case may be, result in the modification of) any retained direct EU legislation or anything which is retained EU law by virtue of section 4. (3) But sub-paragraph (2) enables a power in retained direct minor EU legislation to be exercised to modify (or result in the modification of) any retained direct principal EU legislation or anything which is retained EU law by virtue of section 4 only if— (a) the modification is— (i) consistent with any retained direct principal EU legislation or anything which is retained EU law by virtue of section 4, and (ii) supplementary, incidental or consequential in connection with any modification of any retained direct minor EU legislation, or (b) the power is a power to make, confirm or approve transitional, transitory or saving provision. (4) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2), there is no contrary intention merely because a power is expressed as being capable of being exercised— (a) to modify all enactments or a particular category of enactments, or (b) to make a particular category of modifications to all enactments or to a particular category of enactments.

(4) Sub-paragraph (5) applies in relation to a power if— (a) paragraph 11A applies in relation to the power, and (b) immediately before the coming into force of section 9 of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023, and by virtue of a combination of provision in the power and paragraph 10 or 11 as it then had effect, the power was capable of being exercised to modify (or, as the case may be, result in the modification of) any retained direct EU legislation or anything which is retained EU law by virtue of section 4. (5) The continued existence of the provision in the power does not prevent the context from permitting or requiring the power to be read in accordance with paragraph 11A so far as the reading provided for by that paragraph is not provided for by the provision concerned (and, accordingly, the power continues to be capable of being exercised as mentioned in sub-paragraph (4) on and after the coming into force of section 9 of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023).
