Coming into force in accordance with article 1
At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the 21st day of February 2024
Present,
The King’s Most Excellent Majesty in Council
His Majesty, in pursuance of the power in section 179(1)(a) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992(1) and all other powers enabling Him to do so, is pleased, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, to order as follows:
1992 c. 5. Section 179(1) has been amended by S.I. 2020/1508. Section 179(2) provides that an Order made by virtue of subsection (1) may, instead of or in addition to making specific modifications or adaptations, provide generally that legislation to which section 179 applies shall be modified to such extent as may be required to give effect to the provisions contained in the agreement, or as the case may be, alterations in question. Legislative competence for some welfare benefits was devolved to the Scottish Parliament by Part 3 of the Scotland Act 2016 (c. 11), which inserted exceptions into the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46), schedule 5, Part 2, Section F1. By virtue of section 27(2) of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 (asp 10), the function of His Majesty of making an Order in Council, so far as the function is exercisable within devolved competence, is exercisable by a Scottish statutory instrument.
