EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes consequential amendments in connection with the commencement of the provisions of the Communications Act 2003.
Article 2 makes an amendment to a provision of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 relating to supplies of water, electricity, etc. The amendment replaces the term "public telecommunications service" used in the repealed provisions of the Telecommunications Act 1984 with the corresponding term "public electronic communications service" used in the Communications Act 2003.
Article 3 corrects an error in the Communications Act 2003 (Consequential Amendments) Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/2155) which amended a provision in the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 relating to development by electronic communications code operators.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
