S.I./2001/2403	The Protection of Wrecks (Designation) Order 2001	Order designates as a restricted area the site where part of the wreck of HMS Colossus lies, under section 1(1) of the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973. Designation protects wreck sites of historic, archaeological or artistic importance by making it a criminal offence, in particular, for a person to tamper with, damage or remove part of the wreck or any objects formerly contained in the wreck or carrying out diving or salvage operations on the wreck unless a licence is obtained to do so from the Secretary of State.

For the first seven year licence period, the fees were £70,000 for the section 5 licence, and £20,000 for section 6 licences and covered the costs specifically incurred by the National Lottery Commission in granting the licences. Camelot was awarded an interim licence between 1 October 2001 and 26 January 2002 and the Order therefore reduced the licence fees for that period to £11,000 and £1,000 respectively to reflect the actual costs incurred.
