Territorial Extent
13.The Act extends to the whole of the United Kingdom.
14.The content of this Act relates to reserved matters and does not need the consent of the devolved legislatures; nevertheless, the Devolved Administrations, Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories were all kept informed throughout the drafting process.
15.The Act has no provision on extent but it will extend to the Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories by necessary implication. This follows the precedent of other Acts affecting the Sovereign, such as the Accession Declaration Act 1910 and the Regency Acts of 1937, 1943 and 1953.
