The provisions referred to in articles 2 and 3 of this Order are brought into force on 30th June 2005.
Article 2(1) brings into force section 5 of the Act, which amends the 1995 Act as to the application of sections 19 to 21 (goods, facilities and services) of that Act to transport vehicles, and section 16(2) and paragraph 28(1) to (5) and (7) of Schedule 1, concerning codes of practice. The extent of section 16(2) is limited to England and Wales (section 20(9)).
Article 2(1) also brings into force various minor amendments and repeals to the 1995 Act.
