This instrument contains only regulations made by virtue of sections 2, 4 and 53 of and paragraphs 8 and 11 of Schedule 7 to the Employment Act 2002 (“the 2002 Act”), which comes into force on 8th December 2002. The instrument is made before the end of the period of 6 months beginning with the coming into force of those provisions.
