(This note is not part of the Regulations)

In pursuance of section 55 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974, these Regulations provide for consents required by islands councils in Scotland for the purposes of Part II of the Act (pollution of water) to be given by the Secretary of State. They also prescribe the modifications subject to which the relevant provisions of Part II are to have effect in relation to discharges by islands councils and the forms of notice to be used in connection therewith. Schedule 3 to the Regulations reproduces those provisions as modified.

These Regulations supersede for Scotland the Control of Pollution (Discharges by Authorities) Regulations 1984 which are revoked.
