Explanatory note

This Order revokes the Weights and Measures Act 1985 (Commencement) Order 1992 which would have brought into force, on 1st April 1994, section 43 of the Weights and Measures Act 1985. It does not appoint another date for that purpose.

Section 43 provides that, when ascertaining the quantity of beer or cider for the purposes of certain provisions of that Act or of subordinate legislation made under it, the gas comprised in any foam is to be disregarded.

With the exception of section 43 all the provisions of the 1985 Act are already in force.
