Marginal citations

M1: 2004 c. 35. Section 318(1) is cited because of the meaning there given to “prescribed” and “regulations”.
M2: See section 317(1) of the Pensions Act 2004 which provides that the Secretary of State must consult such persons as he considers appropriate before making any regulations by virtue of the provisions of that Act (other than Part 8). Section 317(2)(c) of that Act provides an exemption to consultation where the regulations are made before the end of the period of six months beginning with the coming into force of the provisions of that Act by virtue of which they are made. A consultation exercise has, however, been carried out in respect of regulation 2.
