EXPLANATORY NOTE | ||||
(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.) | ||||
These Regulations revoke the following Regulations | ||||
i. the Freedom of Information Act 1997 (Sections 6(4), 6(5) and 6(6)) Regulations 1998 ( S.I. No. 516 of 1998 ), | ||||
ii. the Freedom of Information Act 1997 (Section 6(9)) Regulations 1998 ( S.I. No. 517 of 1998 ) | ||||
iii. the Freedom of Information Act 1997 (Section 28(1)) (Amendment) Regulations 1998 ( S.I. No. 521 of 1998 ). | ||||
This revocation arises because the provisions of these three Regulations have been incorporated into Sections 6 and 28 of the Freedom of Information Act 1997 thereby rendering the Regulations superfluous and requiring their revocation. |
