Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Section 1(1) of the Royal Parks (Trading) Act 2000 allows the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, as one of the successors to the Commissioners of Works, to designate particular provisions of any regulations made under section 2(1) of the Parks Regulation (Amendment) Act 1926, as “park trading regulations”. These regulations achieve that designation.

Any failure to comply with a park trading regulation is designated as a “park trading offence” by section 1(2) of the Royal Parks (Trading) Act 2000 and the powers provided by that Act may be used in relation to a park trading offence.
