Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 section Sch 3 para 27

The Environmental Protection Act 1990

Schedule 3, paragraph 27 updates a cross-reference in the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to reflect the replacement of the earlier vehicle excise legislation with the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994.

• This paragraph amends section 79(7) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, which deals with statutory nuisances.
• The amendment updates the definition of "person responsible" within that section.
• The outdated reference to the Vehicles (Excise) Act 1971 is replaced with a reference to the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994.
• This is a purely consequential amendment that does not change the substance of the law — it simply ensures the Environmental Protection Act 1990 refers to the correct, current legislation.
