EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order revokes the Fuel and Electricity (Heating) (Control) Order 1974 (“the 1974 Order”) and the order which amended it.

The effect of the 1974 Order, as amended, was to prohibit the use of fuel or electricity to heat premises above a temperature of 66.2°F (19° C), subject to the provisions of the 1974 Order.

The prohibition did not apply to premises used for excepted purposes, or to premises in respect of which a licence was granted by the Secretary of State.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact is foreseen on the private, voluntary or public sectors.
