“(8) Before exercising the power conferred by subsection (1) in relation to an enactment which extends to Northern Ireland, the Secretary of State must consult the Department of Justice in Northern Ireland.
(9) The power conferred by subsection (1) is exercisable by the Department of Justice (rather than by the Secretary of State) where the provision to be made is within the legislative competence of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
(10) But the Department of Justice may make an order under subsection (1) only with the agreement of the Secretary of State.”
