This paragraph has effect for the purposes of the Human Rights Act 1998.

Any F2assimilated direct principal legislation is to be treated as primary legislation.

Any F1assimilated direct minor legislation is to be treated as primary legislation so far as it amends any primary legislation but otherwise is to be treated as subordinate legislation.
