f1: 1976 c. 74; section 71 was substituted by section 2 of the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 (c. 34) (“the 2000 Act”). Subsections (2) to (4) of section 71 are deemed by virtue of section 71B(1) of the Race Relations Act 1976 (c. 74) to be pre-commencement enactments within the meaning of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46) (“the 1998 Act”). The functions conferred on the Secretary of State by those subsections are therefore transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the 1998 Act.
