Section 12: Short title etc.

45.This section deals with the short title, commencement and territorial extent of the Act.

Subsection (4) enables the Act (and the 1978 Act implementing the 1976 Safeguards Agreement) to be applied by Order in Council, with appropriate modifications, to the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and any colony. Such Orders may be necessary if any activity within the scope of the Safeguards Agreement or the Additional Protocol starts to be carried on in any of these territories.
