EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order removes the effect of a paragraph numbering error in paragraph 34 of Schedule 1 to the Fraud Act 2006 (c. 35).

Paragraph 34 inserted, with effect from 15th January 2007, a new paragraph 21 into Schedule 4 (Personal licence: relevant offences) to the Licensing Act 2003 (c. 17). However, paragraph 20(4) of Schedule 16 to the Gambling Act 2005 (c. 19), which is intended to come into force on 1st September 2007, will from that date insert a different paragraph into Schedule 4, also numbered 21.

The effect of this Order is to renumber the latter of the two Schedule 4 paragraphs (the paragraph inserted by the Fraud Act) as 22 rather than 21.
