STATUTES IN FORCE

GUIDE TO THE EDITION

dated 1st August 1981

ADDITIONAL NOTE

1st January 1983

(to be filed immediately following the Guide)

NEWLY ENACTED ACTS.

The Editorial Board have decided that whenever practicable newly enacted Acts should, when first published in Statutes in Force, be issued in their complete text form as it stands at the date of Royal Assent. This departure from the former practice is being made in order to improve the speed of publication of newly enacted Acts in the Edition and to provide users with the full statutory wording relating to textual amendments made to other enactments. These amendments will of course also continue to be carried through to the affected enactments in cumulative supplements and in revised re-issues of extensively amended Acts in the normal way. This new practice applies to newly enacted Acts passed after 1st December, 1982, and additionally to the Criminal Justice Act 1982 (c.48).
