EXPLANATORY NOTE

This is the seventh Commencement Order made under the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (c. 24) (“the Act”).

This Order brings into force a consequential amendment made by the Act. In addition, it amends the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (Commencement No. 1, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/1455 (C. 55)) (“CO No. 1”) and the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (Commencement No. 4 and Saving Provision) Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/2979 (C. 122)) (“CO No. 4”), both of which have been the subject of previous amendments.

Article 2 brings into force provisions of the Act which amend the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2012 ([S.S.I. 2012/88](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ssi/2012/88)).

Article 3 makes an amendment to CO No. 1 to revoke the saving of the Agricultural Wages (England and Wales) Order 2012 in relation to Wales. This is now unnecessary as a result of the saving made by section 12(1) of the [Agricultural Sector (Wales) Act 2014 (anaw 6)](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/anaw/2014/6).

Article 4 makes an amendment to CO No. 4 regarding a provision which was to bring into force on 30th September 2014 in relation to England the repeal of provisions of the Agricultural Wages Act [1948 (c. 47)](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1948/47) relating to the making of annual reports to Parliament and expenses of, or authorised by, the Minister. The amendment defers this repeal until 31st December 2014.
