Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 230 of the Enterprise Act 2002 requires local weights and measures authorities in England and Wales to give notice to the OFT of intended prosecutions and their outcome under specified enactments and secondary legislation. This Order specifies the enactments and secondary legislation to which the requirement applies. It revokes a similar requirement in the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/3288) and in article 4 makes transitional provisions where a local authority has, before this Order comes into force, given notice that it intends to institute proceedings for an offence under those Regulations or the other legislation there listed that imposes a similar requirement.
