This bill also enables a delay of broader reforms in the amendment Act. These were to come into force from 1 April 2021. The bill therefore shifts the backstop commencement date to April 2023, but the reforms can be brought into force prior to that date by Order in Council. For efficiency, the bill also provides for the coming into force of a range of technical and other provisions of the amendment Act, which would otherwise have been brought into force by an Order in Council.
