      "text": "1896 c.48 as amended by Section 68 of the Railways Act 1921. The functions of the Minister under that Act vested in the Secretary of State for Transport by virtue of S.I. 1970/1681, 1979/571 and 1981/238. The functions of the Secretary of State for Transport transferred to the Scottish Ministers in respect of the promotion and construction of railways in Scotland by virtue of the Scotland Act 1998 (Modification of Schedule 5) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/1629). In terms of section 22 of the Transport and Works (Scotland) Act 2007 (asp 8), no order under the 1896 Act is to be made by the Scottish Ministers on or after the day on which section 1 of the 2007 Act comes into force (28th December 2007). Article 4(1) of S.S.I. 2007/517 does, however, remove this restriction in a case where application for the order was made before that date."
