Point in time view as at 31/12/2020. There are multiple versions of this provision on screen. These apply to different geographical extents.
You are viewing this legislation item as it stood at a particular point in time. At this point in time multiple versions of this provision exist for differing geographical extents. Sometimes the text of a provision is changed, but the change(s) only apply to a particular geographical area. In some limited cases where this happens, the editorial team create a version for each different geographical area. Multiple versions are only created in this way where the change in question is a substitution so that there are different versions of the text for the different extents.
There are outstanding changes not yet made by the legislation.gov.uk editorial team to The Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2013. Any changes that have already been made by the team appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation. They are therefore not accessible when viewing legislation as at a specific point in time. To view the ‘Changes to Legislation’ information for this provision return to the latest version view using the options provided in the ‘What Version’ box above.
