Section 1 is amended by section 2(3) of the Police Negotiating Board Act 1980 (c. 10), section 103 and paragraph 28 of Schedule 7 to the Police Act 1996 (c. 16), and section 1(1) of the Police and Firemen’s Pensions Act 1997 (c. 52). These powers are extended by section 42 of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999 (c. 30). The functions of the Secretary of State under the Act as regards Scotland are transferred to the Scottish Ministers by S.I. 1999/1750 article 2, Schedule 1. The requirement for consent by the Minister for the Civil Service under section 1 of the Act was transferred to the Treasury by virtue of S.I. 1981/1670, and such consent is not required in the exercise by the Scottish Ministers of the transferred functions by virtue of S.I. 1999/1750."
