23rd June 2014
Laid before Parliament
1st July 2014
Coming into force in accordance with regulation 1
The Secretary of State is a Minister designated M1 for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 M2 in relation to the placing on the market, transfer and safety of explosives for civil use.
It appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for certain references to provisions of EU instruments to be construed as references to those provisions as amended from time to time.
The Secretary of State makes —
in part, regulation 8 and paragraph 15 of Schedule 11,
regulations 39 to 42 and Schedules 9, 10 and 12, and
to the extent that they relate to the provisions in (a) and (b) above, regulations 2(1), 3(4)(b) and (14) and (17) and 43 to 45,
under section 2(2) of that Act.
The Secretary of State makes the other provisions of these Regulations —
in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 15(1), (2), (3)(a) and (c), (4), (5), (6)(b) and (9), 18(2)(za) and (a), 43(2), (4), (5) and (6), 80(1) and 82(3)(a) of, and paragraphs 1(1), (2), (3) and (4), 2, 3, 4, 5, 6(1), 7, 12, 15(1), 16, 18 and 20 of Schedule 3 to, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 M3 (“the 1974 Act”); and
apart from the modifications referred to in the next paragraph, for the purpose of giving effect without modifications to proposals submitted —
by the Health and Safety Executive under section 11(3) M4 of the 1974 Act after carrying out consultations in accordance with section 50(3) of the 1974 Act M5; and
by the Office for Nuclear Regulation under section 81(1)(a)(iv) of the Energy Act 2013 M6 after carrying out consultations in accordance with section 81(3) of that Act.
It appears to the Secretary of State that—
the modifications to the Acts referred to in paragraphs 2 to 8 of Part 1 of Schedule 13;
the modifications to the instruments referred to in paragraphs 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 24 and 30 of Part 2 of that Schedule; and
the repeals in relation to the Acts marked with an asterisk in Part 1 of Schedule 14,
are expedient as set out in section 80(1) of the 1974 Act.
It also appears to the Secretary of State not to be appropriate to consult bodies in respect of those modifications and repeals in accordance with section 80(4) of the 1974 Act.
