Confers power

If a provision confers power to make secondary legislation, this attribute will be set to ‘Y’ in all relevant versions. Otherwise it will be set to ‘N’.

 

'Confers power' column from an attributes table

 

Sometimes secondary legislation confers power to make other secondary legislation. This attribute is not set at all in secondary legislation (except, from 2006 onwards, in the case of Northern Ireland Orders in Council that are treated for SLD purposes as primary legislation).

 

Note:

Note that this attribute may not have been set for legislation dating from before the SLD basedate. An exercise to correct this is in progress.

 

Northern Ireland Variations

In Northern Ireland legislation made in 2005 and earlier years, no power attributes have been set. There are at present no plans to correct this.
