EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (Commencement No. 1, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/145 (C. 55)).

Article 2(a) amends the provision which was to bring into force on 1st October 2013 in relation to England and Wales certain repeals and revocations of legislation consequential to the Agricultural Wages (England and Wales) Order 2012 (“the AWO”) ceasing to be in force on that date. The effect of the amendment is that those repeals and revocations are not brought into force in relation to Wales.

Article 2(b) amends the saving provision in relation to the AWO so that it remains in force in relation to Wales after 30th September 2013.

Article 2(c) amends the saving provision relating to enforcement provisions under the Agricultural Wages Act 1948 (c. 47 (11 & 12 Geo 6)) so that those provisions continue to apply in relation to England but only in relation to the employment of an agricultural worker which continues after 30th September 2013. Article 2(d) removes an erroneous reference to a provision of the Act.
