Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

So far as extending to England and Wales, this Order commences provisions in Part 8 of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 (c. 20) (“the 2009 Act”) in relation to construction contracts which relate to the carrying out of construction operations in Wales. It does not commence such provisions in respect of other construction contracts which are being commenced by separate commencement orders.

Part 8 of the 2009 Act amends Part 2 of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (c. 53) (“the 1996 Act”).

The provisions of Part 8 of the 2009 Act brought into force by this Order (where applicable in relation to Wales) are contained in section 138, which substitutes a new power allowing the Welsh Ministers to disapply any or all of the provisions of Part 2 of the 1996 Act.

Article 3 brings into force, on the day after this Order is made, the provision enabling the Welsh Ministers to make orders under the power which section 138 of the 2009 Act inserts into the 1996 Act.
