Laws may be made for Northern Ireland by Measures of the Assembly (in this Act referred to as " Measures ").
A Measure shall be enacted by being passed by the Assembly and approved by Her Majesty in Council.
Subject to section 17 below, a Measure shall have the same force and effect as an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
This section does not affect the power of the Parliament of the United Kingdom to make laws for Northern Ireland but, subject to the said section 17, a Measure may amend or repeal any provision made by or under any Act of Parliament in so far as it is part of the law of Northern Ireland.
It is hereby declared for the avoidance of doubt that a Measure is not invalid by reason of any failure to comply with the provisions of section 5, 6, 14 or 18(2), (5) or (6) below ; and no act or omission under any of those provisions shall be called in question in any legal proceedings.

the Clerk to the Assembly shall again consider the proposed Measure; and
if he considers that it contains any provision dealing with an excepted matter or reserved matter he shall, subject to subsection (4) below, refer it to the Secretary of State,
Neither subsection (2) nor subsection (3) above shall require the Clerk to the Assembly to refer any proposed Measure to the Secretary of State, or preclude the Assembly from proceeding with a proposed Measure, by reason only that it contains a provision which, in the opinion of the Clerk, is ancillary to other provisions (whether in that Measure or previously enacted) dealing with transferred matters only.
Every proposed Measure passed by the Assembly shall be transmitted to the Secretary of State for submission to Her Majesty in Council but if— he shall not submit the Measure to Her Majesty in Council unless he consents to the Measure.
he considers that it contains any provision dealing with an excepted matter or reserved matter; and

li the Secretary of State withholds his consent to a proposed Measure passed by the Assembly he shall refer it back to the Assembly for further consideration; and, if it is modified by the Assembly and again transmitted to him, subsection (5) above shall apply to it as if it were a new proposed Measure transmitted to him after being passed by the Assembly.
For the purposes of this section a provision is ancillary to other provisions if it is a provision which is necessary or expedient for making those other provisions effective or which provides for the enforcement of those other provisions or which is otherwise incidental to, or consequential on, those provisions ; and references in this section to provisions previously enacted are references to provisions contained in, or in any instrument made under, another Measure, an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom or an Act of the Parliament of Northern Ireland.
Subject to the provisions of this section, a proposed Measure to which the Secretary of State has consented under section 5(3) or (5) above shall not be submitted by him to Her Majesty in Council unless he has first laid it before Parliament and either—
the period of twenty days beginning with the date on which it is laid has expired without notice having been given in either House of a motion praying that the proposed Measure shall not be submitted to Her Majesty in Council for approval; or
if notice of such a motion is given within that period the motion has been rejected or withdrawn.
Subsection (1) above shall not apply to a proposed Measure if the Secretary of State considers that it contains no provision dealing with an excepted matter or reserved matter except a provision which is ancillary (within the meaning of section 5 above) to other provisions dealing with transferred matters only.
Subsection (1) above shall not apply to a proposed Measure if the Secretary of State considers that by reason of urgency it should be submitted to Her Majesty in Council without first being laid before Parliament.
Any Measure submitted by virtue of subsection (3) above shall, if approved by Her Majesty in Council, be laid before Parliament by the Secretary of State after approval, and if— Her Majesty may by Order in Council repeal that Measure with effect from such date as may be specified in the Order.
within the period of twenty days beginning with the date on which it is laid notice is given in either House of a motion praying that the Measure shall cease to have effect; and
that motion is carried,
An Order in Council under subsection (4) above may make such consequential or transitional provision in connection with the repeal as appears to Her Majesty to be necessary or expedient.
Any notice of motion for the purposes of subsection (1) or (4) above must be signed by not less than twenty members of the House in which it is given ; and any period mentioned in those subsections shall be computed, in relation to each House, by reference only to days on which that House sits.
The executive power in Northern Ireland shall continue to be vested in Her Majesty.
As respects transferred matters the Secretary of State shall, as Her Majesty's principal officer in Northern Ireland, exercise on Her Majesty's behalf such prerogative or other executive powers of Her Majesty in relation to Northern Ireland as may be delegated to him by Her Majesty.
The powers so delegated shall be exercised through the members of the Northern Ireland Executive established by this Act and the Northern Ireland departments.
A member of the Northern Ireland Executive who is head of a Northern Ireland department shall, in formulating policy with respect to matters within the responsibilities of that department, consult so far as practicable with the consultative committee established in relation to his department under section 25 below, and where such policy is to be implemented by a proposed Measure he shall consult as aforesaid before the proposed Measure is introduced.
The Ministries of the Government of Northern Ireland existing on the appointed day shall be the Northern Ireland departments for the purposes of this Act (and shall be known as departments instead of Ministries) but provision may be made by Measure for establishing new Northern Ireland departments or dissolving existing ones.
The Secretary of State as Her Majesty's principal officer in Northern Ireland, the members of the Northern Ireland Executive, any other persons appointed under section 8 below and the Northern Ireland departments are in this Act referred to as Northern Ireland executive authorities.

the chief executive member ;
the persons who are for the time being heads of the Northern Ireland departments ; and
any other person appointed under subsection (3) below to be a member of the Executive.
The chief executive member shall preside over the Executive and act as Leader of the Assembly.
The chief executive member and the heads of the Northern Ireland departments shall be appointed by the Secretary of State on behalf of Her Majesty and the Secretary of State may likewise appoint such number of additional persons (if any) as he thinks fit to discharge, whether as members of the Executive or otherwise, such functions as he may determine; but the total number of persons at any time holding appointments under this section shall not exceed twelve.
Subject to subsections (5) and (6) below, appointments under this section shall be from among persons who are members of the Assembly and shall be such as will in the opinion of the Secretary of State secure that the Executive has the character mentioned in section 2(1)(b) above.
Two of the persons at any time holding appointments under this section (other than the chief executive member) may be persons who were not appointed from among members of the Assembly but not more than one of them shall be the head of a Northern Ireland department.

If it appears to the Secretary of State to be expedient in the public interest that steps should be taken for the speedy decision of any question whether a provision of a Measure, Act of the Parliament of Northern Ireland or relevant subordinate instrument within the meaning of section 17 above is void by virtue of that section, he may recommend to Her Majesty that the question be referred for decision to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
If it appears to the Secretary of State that a proposed Measure transmitted to him after being passed by the Assembly contains a provision which, if the Measure were enacted, might be void by virtue of the said section 17 he shall refer it back to the Assembly for further consideration ; and if— he shall recommend to Her Majesty that the question whether that provision would be void by virtue of the said section 17 be referred for decision to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
it is again transmitted to him with or without modification ; and
it still appears to him to contain such a provision as aforesaid,

Where the Judicial Committee decide that a provision in a proposed Measure would be void the Secretary of State shall not submit the proposed Measure for the approval of Her Majesty in Council; and where they decide that such a provision would not be void their decision shall be taken as applying also to that provision if contained in the Measure when enacted.
Subsection (6) of section 5 above shall apply where the Secretary of State is precluded by subsection (5) above from submitting a proposed Measure for approval as it applies where he withholds his consent under that section and as if the reference to subsection (5) of that section included a reference to subsections (2) and (5) above.
This section is without prejudice to any power of Her Majesty to refer to the Judicial Committee any questions other than those mentioned in this section.
It shall be unlawful for a Minister of the Crown, a member of the Northern Ireland Executive or other person appointed under section 8 above, the Post Office and any authority or body listed in Schedule 2 to the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967, Schedule 1 to the Parliamentary Commissioner Act (Northern Ireland) 1969 or Schedule 1 to the Commissioner for Complaints Act (Northern Ireland) 1969 to discriminate, or aid, induce or incite another to discriminate, in the discharge of functions relating to Northern Ireland against any person or class of persons on the ground of religious belief or political opinion.
The obligation to comply with subsection (1) above is a duty owed to any person who may be adversely affected by a contravention of that subsection, and any breach of that duty is actionable in Northern Ireland accordingly.
Without prejudice to the right of any person apart from this subsection to claim an injunction restraining another from continuing or repeating any act which is unlawful by virtue of subsection (1) above, the plaintiff may in an action in respect of an act alleged to be unlawful as aforesaid claim any such injunction as is mentioned below on the grounds— and the court may, if satisfied as to those grounds and whether or not damages are awarded, grant such injunction as appears to the court to be proper in all the circumstances, being an injunction restraining the defendant from doing, or causing or permitting others to do, further acts of the same or a similar kind.

advising the Secretary of State on the adequacy and effectiveness of the law for the time being in force in preventing discrimination on the ground of religious belief or political opinion and in providing redress for persons aggrieved by discrimination on either ground;
keeping the Secretary of State informed as to the extent to which the persons, authorities and bodies mentioned in section 19(1) above have prevented discrimination on either ground by persons or bodies not prohibited from discriminating by that law.

Subsection (1) above shall not prevent a person being required to take an oath or make an undertaking or a declaration which is specifically required or authorised to be taken or made— but, except as aforesaid, has effect notwithstanding anything in any enactment, any Measure or any instrument made under an enactment or a Measure.
by the law in force immediately before the coming into force of that subsection ; or
by or under this Act or by a subsequent Measure for the time being in force ;

For the purposes of this Part of this Act a Measure, an Act of the Parliament of Northern Ireland or any other instrument discriminates against any person or class of persons if it treats that person or that class less favourably in any circumstances than other persons are treated in those circumstances by the law for the time being in force in Northern Ireland.
For those purposes a person discriminates against another person or a class of persons if he treats that other person or that class less favourably in any circumstances than he treats or would treat other persons in those circumstances.
No Measure, Act of the Parliament of Northern Ireland or other instrument and no act done by any person shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as discriminating if the instrument has the effect, or, as the case may be, the act is done for the purpose, of safeguarding national security or protecting public safety or public order.
A certificate purporting to be signed by or on behalf of the Secretary of State and certifying that an act specified in the certificate was done for the purpose of safeguarding national security shall be conclusive evidence that it was done for that purpose.

If it appears to Her Majesty that the composition of the Assembly is such that it is not possible for the Secretary of State to make appointments under section 8 above which comply with the requirements of subsection (4) of that section and that it is in the public interest that the Assembly should be dissolved, Her Majesty, after taking into account any vote or resolution of the Assembly which appears to Her Majesty to be relevant, may by Order in Council direct that the date of dissolution for the Assembly, instead of being determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this section, shall be such earlier date as may be specified in the Order.

An Act to make new provision for the government of Northern Ireland.
If it appears to the Secretary of State— and that having regard to those matters there is a reasonable basis for the establishment in Northern Ireland of government by consent, he shall lay before Parliament the draft of an Order in Council appointing a day for the commencement of Part II of this Act and declaring what matters shall, subject to section 3 below, be transferred matters for the purposes of this Act.
that the Northern Ireland Assembly (in this Act referred to as " the Assembly ") has made satisfactory provision by its standing orders for the purposes mentioned in section 25(2) to (5) below ; and
that a Northern Ireland Executive can be formed which, having regard to the support it commands in the Assembly and to the electorate on which that support is based, is likely to be widely accepted throughout the community,
The matters declared by an Order under this section to be transferred matters shall not include—
any of the matters specified in Schedule 2 to this Act (in this Act referred to as " excepted matters "); or
any of the matters specified in Schedule 3 to this Act.
If the draft laid before Parliament under subsection (1) above is approved by resolution of each House of Parliament the Secretary of State shall submit it to Her Majesty in Council and Her Majesty in Council may make the Order in terms of the draft.
On the day appointed by an Order under this section for the commencement of Part II of this Act (in this Act referred to as " the appointed day ") section 1 of the Northern Ireland (Temporary Provisions) Act 1972 shall expire.
If at any time after the appointed day it appears to the Secretary of State— he may, subject to subsection (2) below, lay before Parliament the draft of an Order in Council declaring that the matter shall be or, as the case may be, shall cease to be a transferred matter with effect from such date as may be specified in the Order.
that any matter (not being an excepted matter) which is not a transferred matter by virtue of an Order under section 2 above or a previous Order under this section should become a transferred matter; or
that any matter which by virtue of any such Order is a transferred matter should cease to be such a matter,
The Secretary of State shall not lay before Parliament the draft of an Order in Council declaring that any matter not specified in Schedule 3 to this Act shall cease to be a transferred matter unless the Assembly has passed a resolution praying that it should cease to be a transferred matter.
Subsection (3) of section 2 above shall have effect in relation to any draft laid before Parliament under this section as it has effect in relation to a draft laid before Parliament under that section.
Any matter (not being an excepted matter) which is net for the time being a transferred matter is in this Act referred to as a " reserved matter ".
Laws may be made for Northern Ireland by Measures of the Assembly (in this Act referred to as " Measures ").
A Measure shall be enacted by being passed by the Assembly and approved by Her Majesty in Council.
Subject to section 17 below, a Measure shall have the same force and effect as an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
This section does not affect the power of the Parliament of the United Kingdom to make laws for Northern Ireland but, subject to the said section 17, a Measure may amend or repeal any provision made by or under any Act of Parliament in so far as it is part of the law of Northern Ireland.
It is hereby declared for the avoidance of doubt that a Measure is not invalid by reason of any failure to comply with the provisions of section 5, 6, 14 or 18(2), (5) or (6) below ; and no act or omission under any of those provisions shall be called in question in any legal proceedings.
The consent of the Secretary of State shall be required in accordance with this section in relation to a proposed Measure which contains any provision dealing with an excepted matter or reserved matter; and the Secretary of State shall not give his consent in relation to a proposed Measure which contains any provision dealing with an excepted matter unless he considers that the provision is ancillary to other provisions (whether in that Measure or previously enacted) dealing with reserved matters or transferred matters.
Every proposed Measure introduced in the Assembly shall be considered by the Clerk to the Assembly on introduction and if— then, subject to subsection (4) below, the Clerk shall refer the proposed Measure to the Secretary of State and the Assembly shall not proceed with the Measure unless the Secretary of State's consent to the consideration of the Measure by the Assembly is signified or the Assembly is informed that in his opinion the Measure does not contain any such provision as aforesaid.
he considers that it contains any provision dealing with an excepted matter or reserved matter ; and
it has not been endorsed with a statement that the Secretary of State has consented to the Assembly considering the proposed Measure,
Before the Assembly enters on the stage in its proceedings at which a proposed Measure falls finally to be passed or rejected— and the Assembly shall not enter on that stage unless the Secretary of State's consent to the Measure is signified or the Assembly is informed that in his opinion the Measure does not contain any such provision as aforesaid.
the Clerk to the Assembly shall again consider the proposed Measure; and
if he considers that it contains any provision dealing with an excepted matter or reserved matter he shall, subject to subsection (4) below, refer it to the Secretary of State,
Neither subsection (2) nor subsection (3) above shall require the Clerk to the Assembly to refer any proposed Measure to the Secretary of State, or preclude the Assembly from proceeding with a proposed Measure, by reason only that it contains a provision which, in the opinion of the Clerk, is ancillary to other provisions (whether in that Measure or previously enacted) dealing with transferred matters only.
Every proposed Measure passed by the Assembly shall be transmitted to the Secretary of State for submission to Her Majesty in Council but if— he shall not submit the Measure to Her Majesty in Council unless he consents to the Measure.
he considers that it contains any provision dealing with an excepted matter or reserved matter; and
it has not been referred to him under subsection (3) above (whether by virtue of subsection (4) above or otherwise),
li the Secretary of State withholds his consent to a proposed Measure passed by the Assembly he shall refer it back to the Assembly for further consideration; and, if it is modified by the Assembly and again transmitted to him, subsection (5) above shall apply to it as if it were a new proposed Measure transmitted to him after being passed by the Assembly.
For the purposes of this section a provision is ancillary to other provisions if it is a provision which is necessary or expedient for making those other provisions effective or which provides for the enforcement of those other provisions or which is otherwise incidental to, or consequential on, those provisions ; and references in this section to provisions previously enacted are references to provisions contained in, or in any instrument made under, another Measure, an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom or an Act of the Parliament of Northern Ireland.
Subject to the provisions of this section, a proposed Measure to which the Secretary of State has consented under section 5(3) or (5) above shall not be submitted by him to Her Majesty in Council unless he has first laid it before Parliament and either—
the period of twenty days beginning with the date on which it is laid has expired without notice having been given in either House of a motion praying that the proposed Measure shall not be submitted to Her Majesty in Council for approval; or
if notice of such a motion is given within that period the motion has been rejected or withdrawn.
Subsection (1) above shall not apply to a proposed Measure if the Secretary of State considers that it contains no provision dealing with an excepted matter or reserved matter except a provision which is ancillary (within the meaning of section 5 above) to other provisions dealing with transferred matters only.
Subsection (1) above shall not apply to a proposed Measure if the Secretary of State considers that by reason of urgency it should be submitted to Her Majesty in Council without first being laid before Parliament.
Any Measure submitted by virtue of subsection (3) above shall, if approved by Her Majesty in Council, be laid before Parliament by the Secretary of State after approval, and if— Her Majesty may by Order in Council repeal that Measure with effect from such date as may be specified in the Order.
within the period of twenty days beginning with the date on which it is laid notice is given in either House of a motion praying that the Measure shall cease to have effect; and
that motion is carried,
An Order in Council under subsection (4) above may make such consequential or transitional provision in connection with the repeal as appears to Her Majesty to be necessary or expedient.
Any notice of motion for the purposes of subsection (1) or (4) above must be signed by not less than twenty members of the House in which it is given ; and any period mentioned in those subsections shall be computed, in relation to each House, by reference only to days on which that House sits.

Arrangements may be made between any department of the Government of the United Kingdom and any Northern Ireland department for any functions of one of them to be discharged by, or by officers of, the other.
No such arrangements shall affect the responsibility of the department on whose behalf any functions are discharged.
In this section references to a department of the Government of the United Kingdom include references to any Minister of the Crown and references to a Northern Ireland department include references to the head of a Northern Ireland department ; and this section shall have effect in relation to the Post Office as it has effect in relation to a department of the Government of the United Kingdom.
A Northern Ireland executive authority may—
consult on any matter with any authority of the Republic of Ireland;
enter into agreements or arrangements with any authority of the Republic of Ireland in respect of any transferred matter.
It is hereby declared that provision may be made by Measure for giving effect to any agreement or arrangement made under subsection (1) above, including provision for transferring to any authority designated by or constituted under the agreement or arrangement any function which would otherwise be exercisable by any authority in Northern Ireland or for transferring to an authority in Northern Ireland any functions which would otherwise be exercisable by any authority elsewhere.

releasing or compounding any debt owed to the Crown ; or
imposing or increasing any tax,
Subject to subsection (4) below, there shall in respect of each year be charged on and paid out of the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom into the Consolidated Fund of Northern Ireland a sum equal to the Northern Ireland share of United Kingdom taxes.
The Northern Ireland share of United Kingdom taxes in respect of each year shall be determined by the Treasury; and that share shall be such amount as, in the opinion of the Treasury, represents the proceeds for that year of the taxes payable into the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom which are properly attributable to Northern Ireland after deducting the cost of collection and other appropriate costs.
The Treasury may make regulations with respect to the method by which the proceeds of the taxes, and the costs, mentioned in subsection (2) above are to be attributed to Northern Ireland; and any determination under that subsection shall be made in accordance with those regulations.
The Treasury may by order direct that there shall be deducted from the sum payable under subsection (1) above in respect of any year such sum as may be specified in the order by way of contribution towards the expenses falling on the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom in respect of that year which relate to excepted matters and reserved matters.
The sums payable under subsection (1) above shall be paid at such times and in such manner as the Treasury may determine, and payments may be made on account of sums subsequently so payable.
The power to make regulations or orders under this section shall be exercisable by statutory instrument and—
any regulations under subsection (3) shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons;
no order shall be made under subsection (4) unless a draft of it has been approved by the House of Commons.
The Secretary of State may from time to time pay out of moneys provided by Parliament into the Consolidated Fund of Northern Ireland such sums by way of grant as he may with the consent of the Treasury determine and may, in connection with any such payment, impose such conditions as he may with the like consent determine.
No further payments shall be made under section 26(7) of the Finance Act 1967 or under or by virtue of section 67 of the Finance Act 1971 (payments towards certain expediture in Northern Ireland).
Any Measure, any Act of the Parliament of Northern Ireland and any relevant subordinate instrument shall, to the extent that it discriminates against any person or class of persons on the ground of religious belief or political opinion, be void.
In this section " relevant subordinate instrument" means an instrument of a legislative character (including a byelaw) made (whether before or after the coming into force of this section) under any Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom or the Parliament of Northern Ireland or under any Measure and extending only to Northern Ireland or a part of Northern Ireland.
If it appears to the Secretary of State to be expedient in the public interest that steps should be taken for the speedy decision of any question whether a provision of a Measure, Act of the Parliament of Northern Ireland or relevant subordinate instrument within the meaning of section 17 above is void by virtue of that section, he may recommend to Her Majesty that the question be referred for decision to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
If it appears to the Secretary of State that a proposed Measure transmitted to him after being passed by the Assembly contains a provision which, if the Measure were enacted, might be void by virtue of the said section 17 he shall refer it back to the Assembly for further consideration ; and if— he shall recommend to Her Majesty that the question whether that provision would be void by virtue of the said section 17 be referred for decision to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
it is again transmitted to him with or without modification ; and
it still appears to him to contain such a provision as aforesaid,
For the purposes of their consideration of any question referred to them under this section the Judicial Committee may hear any person who appears to them to be interested in the determination of that question.
The decision of the Judicial Committee under this section as to the validity of any provision shall be stated in open court and shall be binding in all subsequent legal proceedings.
Where the Judicial Committee decide that a provision in a proposed Measure would be void the Secretary of State shall not submit the proposed Measure for the approval of Her Majesty in Council; and where they decide that such a provision would not be void their decision shall be taken as applying also to that provision if contained in the Measure when enacted.
Subsection (6) of section 5 above shall apply where the Secretary of State is precluded by subsection (5) above from submitting a proposed Measure for approval as it applies where he withholds his consent under that section and as if the reference to subsection (5) of that section included a reference to subsections (2) and (5) above.
This section is without prejudice to any power of Her Majesty to refer to the Judicial Committee any questions other than those mentioned in this section.
It shall be unlawful for a Minister of the Crown, a member of the Northern Ireland Executive or other person appointed under section 8 above, the Post Office and any authority or body listed in Schedule 2 to the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967, Schedule 1 to the Parliamentary Commissioner Act (Northern Ireland) 1969 or Schedule 1 to the Commissioner for Complaints Act (Northern Ireland) 1969 to discriminate, or aid, induce or incite another to discriminate, in the discharge of functions relating to Northern Ireland against any person or class of persons on the ground of religious belief or political opinion.
The obligation to comply with subsection (1) above is a duty owed to any person who may be adversely affected by a contravention of that subsection, and any breach of that duty is actionable in Northern Ireland accordingly.
Without prejudice to the right of any person apart from this subsection to claim an injunction restraining another from continuing or repeating any act which is unlawful by virtue of subsection (1) above, the plaintiff may in an action in respect of an act alleged to be unlawful as aforesaid claim any such injunction as is mentioned below on the grounds— and the court may, if satisfied as to those grounds and whether or not damages are awarded, grant such injunction as appears to the court to be proper in all the circumstances, being an injunction restraining the defendant from doing, or causing or permitting others to do, further acts of the same or a similar kind.
that the act was done by the defendant and was unlawful as aforesaid;
that the defendant had previously done such unlawful acts of the same kind as, or of a similar kind to, that act; and

There shall be constituted a Commission to be known as the Standing Advisory Commission on Human Rights (and hereafter in this section referred to as the Advisory Commission) for the purpose of—
advising the Secretary of State on the adequacy and effectiveness of the law for the time being in force in preventing discrimination on the ground of religious belief or political opinion and in providing redress for persons aggrieved by discrimination on either ground;
keeping the Secretary of State informed as to the extent to which the persons, authorities and bodies mentioned in section 19(1) above have prevented discrimination on either ground by persons or bodies not prohibited from discriminating by that law.

The members of the Advisory Commission, other than the ex-officio members, shall hold and vacate office in accordance with the terms of their respective appointments and shall, on ceasing to hold office, be eligible for re-appointment, but any such member may at any time by notice addressed to the Secretary of State resign his office.

Subsection (1) above shall not prevent a person being required to take an oath or make an undertaking or a declaration which is specifically required or authorised to be taken or made— but, except as aforesaid, has effect notwithstanding anything in any enactment, any Measure or any instrument made under an enactment or a Measure.
by the law in force immediately before the coming into force of that subsection ; or
by or under this Act or by a subsequent Measure for the time being in force ;
Subsection (1) above shall not prevent a person being required to make a declaration of acceptance of office or a declaration that he is qualified to act, serve or be employed, or not disqualified from acting, serving or being employed, in any capacity.
This section applies to the Assembly and to any authority or body listed in Schedule 1 to the Parliamentary Commissioner Act (Northern Ireland) 1969 or Schedule 1 to the Commissioner for Complaints Act (Northern Ireland) 1969.
Subsections (1) to (3) above shall apply with the necessary modifications to a member of the Northern Ireland Executive or other person appointed under section 8 above as they apply to any such authority or body.
Subsections (2) and (3) of section 19 above shall apply in relation to subsection (1) above as they apply in relation to subsection (1) of that section.
The enactments mentioned in subsection (2) below (which preclude a Commissioner appointed under any of the Acts so mentioned from conducting an investigation under the relevant Act when the person aggrieved has or had a remedy by way of proceedings in a court of law) shall not apply to an investigation of a complaint alleging maladministration involving discrimination on the ground of religious belief or political opinion or a requirement in contravention of section 21 above to take an oath or make an undertaking or declaration.

section 5(3)(b) of the Commissioner for Complaints Act (Northern Ireland) 1969.
For the purposes of this Part of this Act a Measure, an Act of the Parliament of Northern Ireland or any other instrument discriminates against any person or class of persons if it treats that person or that class less favourably in any circumstances than other persons are treated in those circumstances by the law for the time being in force in Northern Ireland.
For those purposes a person discriminates against another person or a class of persons if he treats that other person or that class less favourably in any circumstances than he treats or would treat other persons in those circumstances.
No Measure, Act of the Parliament of Northern Ireland or other instrument and no act done by any person shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as discriminating if the instrument has the effect, or, as the case may be, the act is done for the purpose, of safeguarding national security or protecting public safety or public order.
A certificate purporting to be signed by or on behalf of the Secretary of State and certifying that an act specified in the certificate was done for the purpose of safeguarding national security shall be conclusive evidence that it was done for that purpose.
No provision of this Part of this Act shall affect the operation before the coming into force of that provision of any Measure, Act of the Parliament of Northern Ireland or other instrument.
No provision of this Part of this Act shall render unlawful anything required or authorised to be done by any Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, whenever passed.

Her Majesty may by Order in Council repeal or amend so much of subsection (5) above as relates to the chairmanship of consultative committees and make such consequential or transitional provision in connection with the repeal or amendment as appears to Her Majesty to be necessary or expedient; but the power to make Orders under this subsection (which includes power to vary or revoke a previous Order) shall not be exercisable before the appointed day and no recommendation shall be made to Her Majesty to make such an Order unless a draft of it has been approved by resolution of each House of Parliament.
The standing orders may provide for enabling a consultative committee to obtain from any department in relation to which it is established such information as the committee may require for the purpose of discharging its functions but shall not enable the committee or any member thereof to have access to any papers of that department.

If, apart from this subsection, the date of dissolution under subsection (1)(a) or (2) above would fall on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday it shall fall on the next subsequent day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday.
The Secretary of State may by order direct that any date of dissolution under paragraph (a) of subsection (1) or (2) above shall, instead of being determined in accordance with that paragraph and subsection (3) above, be a date specified in the order, being a date falling not more than two months before or after the date so determined.
If it appears to Her Majesty that the composition of the Assembly is such that it is not possible for the Secretary of State to make appointments under section 8 above which comply with the requirements of subsection (4) of that section and that it is in the public interest that the Assembly should be dissolved, Her Majesty, after taking into account any vote or resolution of the Assembly which appears to Her Majesty to be relevant, may by Order in Council direct that the date of dissolution for the Assembly, instead of being determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this section, shall be such earlier date as may be specified in the Order.
In any case in which an Order could be made under subsection (5) above Her Majesty may, instead of or before making an Order under that subsection, by Order in Council prorogue or further prorogue the Assembly.

Where the Boundary Commission for Northern Ireland submit to the Secretary of State a report under section 2(1) or (3) of the House of Commons (Redistribution of Seats) Act 1949 showing the constituencies into which the whole of, or any area in, Northern Ireland should be divided they shall submit therewith a supplementary report showing the number of members which they recommend should be returned to the Assembly by each of those constituencies.
The recommendations in a supplementary report shall not be such as substantially to alter the number of members specified in section 1(1) of the said Act of 1973 (total number of members of Assembly); and those recommendations shall be such as to secure, so far as practicable, that the ratio of the electorate of each constituency to the number of members to be returned by that constituency is the same in every constituency. In this subsection " the electorate", in relation to a constituency, means the number of persons whose names appear on the register of electors for that constituency in force on the enumeration date (as defined in Schedule 2 to the said Act of 1949) under section 29 below.
Section 2(4) and (5) and section 3 of the said Act of 1949 (publication of notice of proposed report of Boundary Commission and implementation of recommendations in report) shall apply to a supplementary report under this section as they apply to a report under that Act.
An Order in Council under the said Act of 1949 for giving effect, with or without modifications, to the recommendations contained in a report or supplementary report of the Boundary Commission for Northern Ireland may amend section 1(1) of the said Act of 1973 by altering the number of members there specified and may amend the Schedule to that Act by altering the name of any of the constituencies there mentioned or the number of members there specified in relation to any constituency.
Any provision of an Order in Council under the said Act of 1949 altering the boundaries of any constituency in Northern Ireland or the number of members specified in the said section 1(1) or the said Schedule in relation to any constituency shall not affect any election to the Assembly before the next general election to the Assembly or affect the constitution of the Assembly then in being.
The officers of the Boundary Commission for Northern Ireland shall include the Chief Electoral Officer for Northern Ireland as an additional assessor.
