Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Order (including any effects on those provisions):

  • art. 18(1A)(aa) inserted by S.I. 2019/93, Sch. 1 para. 7(2)(b) (as substituted) by S.I. 2019/1245 reg. 24 (This amendment not applied to legislation.gov.uk. The affecting statutory instrument has no legal effect.

It was not debated and approved within 28 days, so it has expired with no effect.)
