1972 c. 68 . Section 2(2) is amended by the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 (c. 51) , section 27(1)(a) and Part 1 of the Schedule to the European Union Amendment Act 2008 (c. 7) .
1996 c. 61 . Paragraphs 32(1) and (7) and 36 were amended by S.I. 1997/2971 , article 6(1) and the Schedule, paragraph 32(e) and (h). The effect of the amendments is that the power to make regulations now vests in the Secretary of State (as defined in Schedule 1 to the Interpretation Act 1978) rather than the “appropriate Ministers”, previously defined in paragraph 38(2) (to which corresponding amendments were also made by S.I. 1997/2971 ) as the Secretary of State for the Environment and the Secretary of State for Transport.
