Coming into force in accordance with regulation 1(2) to (4)
The Secretary of State is designated(1) for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972(2) in relation to the protection of animals used for experimental and other scientific purposes.
The Secretary of State makes the following Regulations under the powers conferred by that section, as read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the 1972 Act.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in that section and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for the references to an Annex to Directive 2010/63/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes to be construed as a reference to the Annex as amended from time to time.
In accordance with paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 2 to the 1972 Act a draft of these Regulations was laid before Parliament and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament.
