Commentary on Sections

Section 8 – Civil sanctions

Section 8 repeals paragraph 24(6) of Schedule 6 to the 2008 Act.

Paragraph 24 requires the Department to carry out a review of the operation of civil sanctions in relation to a breach of the carrier bag charging regulations. The repeal removes the requirement to lay a copy of any such review before the Assembly.
