Textual Amendments

F1Annex 1 Pt. B Point 6: the words "United Kingdom fleet-wide" substituted for "Great Britain fleet-wide" (1.9.2021) by The Road Vehicle Carbon Dioxide Emission Performance Standards (Cars and Vans) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2021 (S.I. 2021/898), regs. 1(2), 2(10)(b) [Editorial note: For technical reasons the editorial team has been unable to carry out this substitution where the relevant words occur in formulas contained in image files.]
