Regulation 4 Implementation of the CEDAW recommendations: concurrent powers

The Secretary of State may do anything that a Northern Ireland Minister or Northern Ireland department could do for the purpose of ensuring that the recommendations in paragraphs 85 and 86 of the CEDAW report are implemented in respect of Northern Ireland.

The fact that a matter has not been brought to the attention of, or discussed and agreed by, the Executive Committee of the Northern Ireland Assembly is to be disregarded when determining what a Northern Ireland Minister or Northern Ireland department could do for the purposes of paragraph (1).
