Statement by the Delegation of Norway, also on behalf of Iceland, Liechtenstein, San Marino and Switzerland, on the death penalty in Kazakhstan
For section 118 of the Fair Trading Act 1973 (trading schemes to which Part XI applies) there is substituted—
In section 119 of the Fair Trading Act 1973 (regulations relating to trading schemes to which Part XI applies), in subsection (1)—
for the words from “documents” to “information” there is substituted “ any form of advertisement, prospectus, circular or notice which contains any information ”, and
for “document” there is substituted “ advertisement, prospectus, circular or notice ”.
In section 120 of that Act (offences under Part XI), in subsection (1), for “document” there is substituted “ advertisement, prospectus, circular or notice ”.
Where a person is charged with an offence by virtue of subsection (6) of section 120 of the Fair Trading Act 1973, it is a defence for him to prove that—
the trading scheme to which the charge relates was in operation before the commencement of this Act,
Part XI of the Fair Trading Act 1973 did not apply to that trading scheme at any time before that commencement, and
the act constituting the offence was committed without his consent or connivance.
There shall be paid out of money provided by Parliament any increase attributable to this Act in the sums payable out of money so provided under the Fair Trading Act 1973.
This Act may be cited as the Trading Schemes Act 1996.
This Act shall come into force on such day as the Secretary of State may by order made by statutory instrument appoint.
This Act extends to Northern Ireland.
