110W
§ Mr. FreemanThe deregulation orders which have passed into law are:
- The Deregulation (Greyhound Racing) Order
- The Deregulation (Building Societies) Order
- The Deregulation (Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Act 1868) Order
- The Deregulation (Special Hours Certificates) Order
- The Deregulation (Fair Trading Act 1973) (Amendment) Merger Reference Time Limits) Order
- The Deregulation (Restrictive Trade Practices Act 1976) (Amendment) (Time Limits) Order
- The Deregulation (Restrictive Trade Practices Act 1976) (Amendment) (Variation of Exempt Agreements) Order
- The Deregulation (Length of the School Day) Order
- The Deregulation (Long Pull) Order
The first four orders are sectoral measures intended to assist all firms in those sectors, regardless of their size. The next three orders amend competition legislation and, again, could potentially benefit any firm regardless of size.
