Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (Designated Sites under Section 128) Order 2007 to ensure that article 2(1)(g) covers the site mentioned in paragraph (12) of that article. The consequence of this is that the site is clearly designated under section 128 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 so that if a person enters on it as a trespasser, he will commit an offence under section 128(1) of that Act. Article 2(12) of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (Designated Sites under Section 128) Order 2007 was inserted into that Order by the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (Designated Sites under Section 128) (Amendment) Order 2012.
