This Order, which extends to Scotland only, makes provision for continuing in effect a Byelaw made by Clyde River Purification Board under section 25(1)(c) of the Rivers (Prevention of Pollution) (Scotland) Act 1951 regulating the keeping and use of vessels provided with sanitary appliances on Loch Lomond and Loch Eck. Section 25(1)(c) has now been replaced by section 33(1) of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 and the Order provides for the Byelaw to have effect as if made under the 1974 Act provision.

By virtue of section 33(4) of the 1974 Act, contravention of the Byelaw attracts a fine, on summary conviction, not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale.
