(This note is not part of the Order)
These Regulations make amendments to secondary legislation in consequence of the repeal of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1967 ("the 1967 Act") at section 73 of and Schedule 21 to the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013.
Regulation 2 omits the definitions of "television dealer" and "television set" in regulations 10 and 11 of the Communications (Television Licensing) Regulations 2004; both of these definitions rely on section 6(1) of the 1967 Act.
Regulation 3 amends article 3 of the Wireless Telegraphy (Control of Interference from Videosenders) Order 1998. Article 3 of that Order defines "television set" by reference to section 6(1) of the 1967 Act. The repeal of section 6(1) of the 1967 Act means that a new definition is required in article 3 of the 1998 Order. Regulation 3 therefore inserts into article 3 of that Order the definition of "television set" formerly used in article 11 of the 2004 Regulations.
S.I. 2004/692, as amended by S.I. 2006/619. There have been further amendments to S.I. 2004/692 which are not relevant to this Order.
