Localism Act 2011

Territorial Application

478. The table below sets out the application of the provisions in the Act. It deals with substantive application only. Where a provision amends or repeals (or revokes) existing legislation, the amendment or repeal has the same extent as the legislation amended or repealed (see section 239(5) and the exceptions in section 239(6)) but this will not be reflected in entry in the table for the section. For example, section 198 (which is about London) introduces Schedule 21. Paragraph 12 of Schedule 21 makes an amendment in UK-wide legislation, but the entry for section 198 reflects that the practical application is in relation to England only.
