Introduction
1.These Explanatory Notes relate to the Carrier Bags Act (Northern Ireland) 2014 which received Royal Assent on 28 April 2014. They have been prepared by the Department of the Environment in order to assist the reader of the Act and have not been endorsed by the Assembly.
2.These Notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section or part of a section does not seem to require an explanation or comment, none is given.
