A green tick indicates that the change has been applied to the text of the legislation on this site by the legislation.gov.uk editorial team.

Where there is no green tick, the changes and effects have not yet been applied and they are also displayed alongside the content of the legislation at provision level in the ‘Changes to Legislation’ red box.

Type of effect

There are many different types of effects. An “effect” can denote any way in which legislation impacts on or changes other legislation. There are three main types of effect which result in the text of the legislation changing: insertions (text is added), substitutions (text is replaced) and repeals (where existing text ceases to have effect and may also be removed from the legislation). In addition there are some effects that we record that do not result in a change to the text of the legislation e.g. “Applied” which is used where provisions of existing legislation are applied to new legislation or to some set of circumstances specified in the applying legislation.
