EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order revokes four instruments made under the Channel Tunnel Rail Link Act 1996 (c. 61). These instruments are spent.
The Channel Tunnel Rail Link (Qualifying Authorities) Order 1997 (S.I. 1997/8) specified the local authorities which were ‘qualifying authorities’ for the purposes of Schedule 6 to the Channel Tunnel Rail Link Act 1996. The qualifying authorities were those local authorities which had given undertakings to the Secretary of State on the handling of planning matters arising under the Act. As construction is complete the Order is spent.
The other three instruments amended the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (Nomination) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/391) (“the 1999 Order”). The 1999 Order specified the nominated undertaker for certain sections of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, and was amended so as to specify different persons for those purposes. The 1999 Order was revoked by the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (Nomination) Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/3076), which provided that HS1 Limited is the nominated undertaker for specified purposes.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private, public or voluntary sectors is foreseen. The Explanatory Memorandum is published alongside the instrument on www.legislation.co.uk.
