Schedule 12: Smoke control in England and Wales Part 1: Principal amendments to the Clean Air Act 1993: England
Paragraphs 1 to 8 make amendments to the Clean Air Act 1993.
	Paragraph 2 inserts new section 19A, which introduces new Schedule 1A.
	Paragraph 3 inserts new Schedule 1A after Schedule 1. Schedule 1A makes provisions for imposing financial penalties for emissions of smoke from a chimney of a building, a chimney (not being a chimney of a building) which serves the furnace of any fixed boiler or industrial plant and, if applicable, a chimney of a vessel in smoke control areas in England. The amendments to this Act enable a local authority to extend the scope of a smoke control area to cover moored vessels, (as set out in paragraph 7 below), subject to local consultation. They would need to amend their smoke control order to include vessels and then once it comes into operation smoke emissions from the chimney of such vessels could be liable to a financial penalty.
