2Modification of NCA functionsU.K.
(1)The Secretary of State may, by order, make—
(a)provision about NCA counter-terrorism functions (and, in particular, may make provision conferring, removing, or otherwise modifying such functions); and
(b)other provision which the Secretary of State considers necessary in consequence of provision made under paragraph (a) (and, in particular, may make provision about the functions of any person other than the NCA, including provision conferring or otherwise modifying, but not removing, such functions).
(2)If an order under this section confers an NCA counter-terrorism function, an NCA officer may only carry out activities in Northern Ireland for the purpose of the discharge of the function if the NCA officer does so with the agreement of the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
(3)That includes cases where an order under this section confers an NCA counter-terrorism function by the modification of a function.
(4)An order under this section may amend or otherwise modify this Act or any other enactment.
(5)An order under this section is subject to the super-affirmative procedure (see section 58 and Schedule 23).
(6)In this section “NCA counter-terrorism function” means an NCA function relating to terrorism (and for this purpose “terrorism” has the same meaning as in the Terrorism Act 2000 — see section 1 of that Act).
