Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order revokes, with a saving, the Chemical Weapons (Licence Appeal Provisions) Order 1996 (S.I. 1996/3030). That Order made provision under section 20(4) of the Chemical Weapons Act 1996 (c. 6) with respect to appeals against the refusal to grant, renew or vary a licence or against a variation or revocation of a licence.

This Order also revokes the Chemical Weapons (Licence Appeal Provisions) (Revocation) Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/1045). That Order made provision repealing the Chemical Weapons (Licence Appeal Provisions) Order 1996 (S.I. 1996/3030) and was made and registered but was not printed.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
