Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke the Smoke Control Areas (Authorised Fuels) (Scotland) Regulations 2014 (“the 2014 Regulations”). The 2014 Regulations declared specified fuels to be authorised fuels for the purposes of Part III of the Clean Air Act 1993 (“the 1993 Act”).
The Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 inserted subsections (5A) to (5C) into section 20 of the 1993 Act, which allow for fuels to be authorised by being included in a list kept by the Scottish Ministers and published in such manner as they consider appropriate. That list is published at www.scottishairquality.co.uk. Consequently, the 2014 Regulations are no longer required.
