Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill \/ Act<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hello<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have been involved in various campaigns against the “Police, Crime,
Sentencing and Courts Bill”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now an act, we lost so there it is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now I am unsure if it has force from midnight on the 28th [immediate], or
are we waiting for a commencement order and a future date. Will the
provisions of whole act come into force at the same time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My thanks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens after Royal Assent?
The legislation within the Bill may come into effect immediately, after a
set period or only after a commencement order by a government minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A commencement order is designed to bring into force the whole or part of an
Act of Parliament at a date later than the date of the Royal Assent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If there is no commencement order, the Act will come into force from
midnight at the start of the day of the Royal Assent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi Alan
I can\u2019t see any sign of a commencement order which would set dates in the future for provisions to come into force on the HoC website so I think this retrograde piece of legislation is now law.
Next stop the courts!
Best wishes
