401.This section applies to all references in this Part of the Act to the Secretary of State. Where any provision in this Part is being used solely in Scotland, a reference to the Secretary of State should be taken to mean the Scottish Ministers (subsection (1)). Where, for example, there are two competing extradition requests in Scotland, this section would apply. However, where there are two competing extradition requests in different parts of the United Kingdom, this would not apply. Subsection (2) gives the exceptions to this rule, which are in section 83(3) (hostage-taking considerations), section 101(5) (making of order for extradition or discharge) and section 121 (where asylum claimed).
