## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Regulation 2(1) removes from the Regulations listed in the Schedule the specified provisions in those Regulations which exempt from their application supplies of food under Government contracts to Her Majesty’s forces or food supplied for consumption by a visiting force, within the meaning of the Visiting Forces Act 1952 (c. 67, as amended by the Criminal Justice Act 1988, c. 33, section 170 and paragraph 14 of Schedule 15). Those Regulations will now apply to such supplies of food.
