Commentary on Sections Schedule 27 - Minor and consequential amendments Paragraph 47 - Fair Trading Act 1973 (c. 41)
954.Paragraph 47 amends section 30(6) of the Fair Trading Act 1973 to extend the privilege against incriminating one’s spouse to civil partners, where answers to questions are sought relating to contraventions of orders made under section 22. Although section 22 has been repealed by the Enterprise Act 2002 the two orders made under that section are preserved by that Act and therefore so are the enforcement provisions.
