Consumer Protection

Made 24th July 2011

Laid before Parliament 29th July 2011

Coming into force 19th August 2011

M1M2The Secretary of State is a Minister designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 in relation to measures relating to consumer protection.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for certain references to provisions of an EU instrument to be construed as a reference to those provisions as amended from time to time.

M3In accordance with section 11(5) of the Consumer Protection Act 1987 the Secretary of State has consulted such organisations as appear to him to be representative of interests substantially affected by the proposal to make these Regulations and such other persons as he considers appropriate.

The Secretary of State makes regulations 1 to 39 in exercise of his powers conferred by section 11 of the Consumer Protection Act 1987 M4, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972(M5, and all other regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972.C1
