2U.K.Section 1 of the Consular Fees Act 1980 continues to have effect with the following subsections that were originally inserted by section 36 of the Identity Cards Act 2006, but, in consequence of the repeal of that Act by section 1 of this Act, with the omission of the original subsection (4A)(c)—
“(4A)In prescribing a fee under subsection (1) for the doing of a particular thing, Her Majesty in Council may take into account—
(a)the expenses that will be or have been incurred in doing that thing, both in the circumstances in relation to which the fee is prescribed and in other circumstances;
(b)the expenses that will be or have been incurred in doing such other things in the exercise of functions mentioned in that subsection as She thinks fit; and
(c)such differences between different persons in relation to whom things may be or have been done as She thinks fit.
(4B)The power of Her Majesty in Council under subsection (1) to prescribe fees and the power of the Secretary of State under subsection (3) to make regulations each includes power—
(a)to make different provision for different cases;
(b)to make provision subject to such exemptions and exceptions as the person exercising the power thinks fit; and
(c)to make such incidental, supplemental, consequential and transitional provision as that person thinks fit.
(4C)References in this section to expenses that will be incurred for any purpose include references to expenses that Her Majesty in Council considers are likely to be incurred for that purpose over such period as She thinks appropriate, including expenses that will only be incurred after the commencement of a particular enactment.”
