(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order corrects an error in the Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999 (Commencement No. 3) (Scotland) Order 2015 before that Order comes into force. Article 3 ensures that certain repeals to the Environment Act 1995 made by Schedule 3 to the Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999 are clearly commenced on 1st April 2015.
