Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Under section 128 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005[^f00003] it is an offence to enter or be on any protected site in England and Wales or Northern Ireland as a trespasser. A “protected site” includes a site specified or described in an order made under section 128(2) which designates the site for the purpose of that section. The Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (Designated Sites under Section 128) Order 2007[^f00004] (“the 2007 Order”) designates various sites for that purpose. This Order amends the 2007 Order to add a new site: the National Assembly for Wales site.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
