Point in time view as at 01/03/2000. There are multiple versions of this provision on screen. These apply to different geographical extents.
You are viewing this legislation item as it stood at a particular point in time. At this point in time multiple versions of this provision exist for differing geographical extents. Sometimes the text of a provision is changed, but the change(s) only apply to a particular geographical area. In some limited cases where this happens, the editorial team create a version for each different geographical area. Multiple versions are only created in this way where the change in question is a substitution so that there are different versions of the text for the different extents.
Airports Act 1986, Section 63 is up to date with all changes known to be in force on or before 16 August 2024. There are changes that may be brought into force at a future date. Changes that have been made appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
