United Kingdom Statutory Instrument
Section 69 of the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (c.24) made amendments to section 47 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. As a consequence some references to section 47 in other legislation are redundant and this Order deletes them. No impact assessment has been prepared for this Order as its sole purpose is to remove references to legislation which are no longer required.

United Kingdom Statutory Instrument
Section 20A of the Land Compensation Act 1973, inserted by paragraph 5(1) of Schedule 15 to the Planning and Compensation Act 1991, enables Regulations to be made providing for payments to persons living in caravans and other structures which are not buildings which are, or are likely to be, affected by noise caused by the construction or use of public works. Such dwellings do not qualify for noise insulation or grant under the Noise Insulation Regulations 1975 (S.I. 1975/1763 amended by S.I. 1988/2000), but these Regulations empower a noise payment to be made where qualifying conditions are met, to the occupier of a caravan or movable home by the appropriate highway authority, of £1,650 specified in the Regulations. The memorandum entitled “Calculation of Road Traffic Noise” published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office (1988) may be obtained from the Stationery Office, National Publishing, 3rd Floor, St Crispins, Duke Street, Norwich NR3 1PD (telephone number: 0870 600 5522).

United Kingdom Statutory Instrument
These Regulations provide for further implementation, within Great Britain, of Articles 10, 11 and 12 of Council Directive 89/391/EEC (“the Framework Directive”, OJ No. L183, 29.6.89, p.1) on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the health and safety of employees at work. The Safety Representatives and Safety Committees Regulations 1977 (S.I. 1977/500 as amended by S.I. 1992/2051) already implement those Articles in cases where employees are represented by safety representatives appointed by a trade union recognised by their employer. These Regulations require employers to consult either their employees directly or representatives elected by their employees where there are employees not represented by safety representatives appointed by trade unions under the 1977 Regulations. The need for this further implementation of those Articles in the Framework Directive arises from the judgment of the European Court of Justice in cases C382/92 and C383/92, Commission of the European Communities v. United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ([1994] I.C.R. 664) which, although the judgment was in respect of other Directives, established the principle that rights to consultation had to be accorded to all employees and could not be limited to those employees who were represented by a trade union recognised by their employer.
