Section 60 Northern Ireland: disapplication of Part 4 of 2000 Act

313. Whilst the 2000 Act generally extends to Northern Ireland, Part 4 has been temporarily disapplied by the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (Disapplication of Part 4 for Northern Ireland Parties, etc) Order 2005 (S.I.2005/299). This is in order to protect the identities of donors to political parties. This section ensures that the current disapplication Order is not disturbed by the amendments to Part 4 of the 2000 Act made by sections 55 to 58 of this Act.
