Section 49 of the Legislation Act 2012 allows an instrument to incorporate by reference provisions that deal with technical matters that can reasonably be regarded as being too large or impractical to include in, or publish as part of, the instrument. The incorporated provisions form part of the Regulations for all purposes and have legal effect accordingly.
