Alcoholic Liquor (Amendment of Units of Measurement) Order 1992 (S.I. 1992/1917)	HMRC	This Order amends the Alcoholic Liquor Duties Act 1979. It restricts the carrying on of certain other trades by a distiller or rectifier within 3 kilometres of his distillery or rectifying house. Prior to 31st August 1992 the restriction was within a distance of 2 miles.	This legislation is inoperative as it amends provisions that have been revoked (s24 and 69 of Alcoholic Liquor Duties Act 1979).
Price Marking (Amendment) Order 1994 (S.I. 1994/1853)	DBT	This legislation amends the Price Marking Order 1991 and the Price Marking (Pre-packed Milk in Vending Machines) Order 1976.	Both orders amended by the 1994 order are now revoked.
The Sex Discrimination Act 1975 (Application to Armed Forces etc) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/3276)	MoD	The Sex Discrimination Act 1975 (Application to Armed Forces etc) Regulations 1994 amended the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 to make special provision for the Armed Forces.	This piece of legislation no longer has any legal effect as the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 was repealed by the Equality Act 2010. As a result the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 (Application to Armed Forces etc) Regulations 1994 are obsolete.
Price Marking (Amendment) Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/1441)	DBT	The Order amends the Price Marking Order 1991 which implemented Council Directive 79/581/EEC.	The 1991 order amended by the 1995 order is now revoked.
The Companies (Membership of Holding Company) (Dealers in Securities) Regulations 1997 (S.I. 1997/2306)	DBT	All of the provisions amended by this Statutory Instrument (SI) have since been repealed. These Regulations further implemented the provisions of Article 24a of Second Council Directive 77/91/EEC, on the co-ordination of safeguards in respect of the formation of public limited liability companies and the maintenance and alteration of their capital.	This legislation amends the Companies Act 1985 and all amended provisions were repealed with the commencement of the Companies Act 2006.
The Telecommunications (Licensing) Regulations 1997 (S.I. 1997/2930)	DSIT	The regulations amended licensing provisions in the Telecoms Act 1984 to implement Directive 97/13/EC on a common framework for general authorisations and individual licences. These regulations make changes to Telecoms Act 1984, in particular section 7, which itself has been superseded by the Communications Act 2003.	The Telecommunications (Licensing) Regulations 1997 include amendments to the Telecoms Act 1984 which has been repealed by the Communications Act 2003. As such, this legislation has been superseded.
The United Kingdom Ecolabelling Board (Abolition) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/931)	Defra	These regulations abolish the United Kingdom Ecolabelling Board and make associated amendments to legislation. The Ecolabelling Board was the competent body for the United Kingdom for the purposes of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 880/92 of 23rd March 1992. The revocations to regulations 7 and 9 relate to amendments to legislation that has been revoked or further amended. There will be no ramifications for the way we are currently managing EU Ecolabel in NI. Regulations 7 and 9 of SI 1999/931 can therefore be revoked.	This regulation relates to a requirement/scheme/agreement which is no longer in operation, or is no longer relevant to the UK and the revoked amendments relate to amendments to legislation that has been revoked or further amended, so are no longer needed.
The Companies (Investment Companies) (Distribution of Profits) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/2770)	DBT	All of the provisions amended by this Statutory Instrument (SI) have since been repealed. These Regulations amended sections 265 and 266 in Part VIII of the Companies Act 1985 concerning the distribution of profits of an investment company.	This legislation amends the Companies Act 1985 and all amended provisions were repealed with the commencement of the Companies Act 2006.

This legislation is already spent, as it amended legislation (Telecommunications Act 1984, Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 and three sets of Regulations) which have subsequently been repealed, revoked or otherwise superseded.
The Dual-Use Items (Export Control) (Amendment) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/504)	DBT	These Regulations added a new EC Council Regulation to the list of Regulations applicable to export control.	This legislation is inoperative because it amended legislation which has since been revoked.
The Companies (Acquisition of Own Shares) (Treasury Shares) No.2 Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/3031)	DBT	All of the provisions amended by this Statutory Instrument (SI) have since been repealed.These Regulations further implemented Council Directive 77/91/EEC on co-ordination of safeguards which, for the protection of members and others, were required by member states of companies in respect of the formation of public limited liability companies and the maintenance and alteration of their capital, with a view to making such safeguards equivalent.	This legislation amends the Companies Act 1985 and all amended provisions were repealed with the commencement of the Companies Act 2006.
Mutual Assistance Provisions Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/3092)	HMRC	This Order amends the legislative references in section 48 of the Value Added Tax Act 1994 (section 48) and section 197 of the Finance Act 2003 (section 197) following changes to EC Mutual Assistance legislation.	This legislation is inoperative as it amends provisions that have been revoked.
The EC Merger Control (Consequential Amendments) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/1079)	DBT	This legislation made consequential amendments, primarily to the Enterprise Act 2002, which were necessary in light of the new EU Merger Regulation.	The provisions of this legislation being revoked made amendments to provisions in primary and secondary legislation (including to the Enterprise Act 2002) which have subsequently been repealed or revoked.
The Immigration (European Economic Area) and Accession (Amendment) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/1236)	HO	These regulations made technical changes to the definition in the 2000 Regulations of the resources conditions under which family members of self-sufficient, retired or studying EEA nationals had an EU law right to reside in the UK; and to requirements for proof of family membership in the context of an appeal under the 2000 Regulations. They also amended the 2004 Regulations, which created a worker registration scheme for workers from eight of the states that acceded to the EU in 2004, to bring those regulations into line with Regulation (EEC) No. 1612/68.	The Regulations are inoperative. This is because they amended the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2000 (“the 2000 Regulations”) and the Accession (Immigration and Worker Registration) Regulations 2004 (“the 2004 Regulations”), both of which have been revoked.
The Reporting of Savings Income Information (Amendment) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/1539)	HMRC	These Regulations amend the Reporting of Savings Income Information Regulations 2003. Those regulations require agents to provide HMRC with information on savings income paid to or received on behalf of residents in EU member states.	This legislation is inoperative because the UK is no longer party to the savings income information arrangements for EU member states and amends legislation which is also being revoked.
The Companies Act 1985 (Investment Companies and Accounting and Audit Amendment) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/2280)	DBT	All of the provisions amended by this Statutory Instrument (SI) have since been repealed.

The Reporting of Savings Income Information (Amendment) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/3286)	HMRC	These Regulations amend the Reporting of Savings Income Information Regulations 2003. Those regulations require agents to provide HMRC with information on savings income paid to or received on behalf of residents in EU member states.	This legislation is inoperative because the UK is no longer party to the savings income information arrangements for EU member states and amends legislation which is also being revoked.
Accession (Immigration and Worker Authorisation) (Amendment) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/475)	HO	These regulations updated the 2006 Regulations, which made transitional provision restricting Bulgarian and Romanian nationals’ access to the UK labour market after those states acceded to the EU. They ensured the 2006 Regulations aligned with the terms of the Accession Treaty for Bulgaria and Romania.	The Regulations are inoperative. This is because they amended the Accession (Immigration and Worker Authorisation) Regulations 2006 (“the 2006 Regulations”), which have been revoked.
Accession (Immigration and Worker Registration) (Amendment) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/2426)	HO	These regulations updated the 2004 and 2006 Regulations, which made transitional provision for access to the UK labour market by nationals of states which acceded to the EU in 2004 and 2007. They ensured those regulations remained aligned with the terms of the relevant Accession Treaties.	The Regulations are inoperative. This is because they amended the Accession (Immigration and Worker Authorisation) Regulations 2006 “the 2006 Regulations”) and the Accession (Immigration and Worker Registration) Regulations 2004 (“the 2004 Regulations”), both of which have been revoked.
Civil Procedure (Amendment) Rules 2011 (S.I. 2011/88)	MoJ	This instrument made amendments to the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 to implement the Mediation Directive (2008/52/EC) and aspects of the Regulation EC No 1393/2007 on the service of documents in civil and commercial matters.	The specified provisions of this instrument are inoperative as they are spent amendments where the underlying provision being amended is no longer in effect. The listed paragraphs within rule 4 of this SI made amendments to Part 6 of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 which have subsequently been revoked without saving provision by regulation 4 of SI 2019/521 (“the CPR exit SI”); the listed paragraphs can therefore be revoked. Rule 5 of this SI revoked words from rule 7.2 of the 1998 Rules and can be revoked. Rule 6 inserted words in rule 8.1 of the 1998 Rules which were revoked by reg 5 of the CPR exit SI, so rule 6 can be revoked. The listed paragraphs of rule 9 of this SI added cross-references in various places within Part 78 of the 1998 Rules, which were revoked by reg 10 of the CPR exit SI, so these paragraphs of rule 9 can be revoked. Rule 10 of this SI inserted words after rule 32.7(2) which was revoked by reg 11 of the CPR exit SI, so it can be revoked.
The Libya (Asset-Freezing) (Amendment) Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/56)	HMT	This Regulation amended The Libya (Asset-Freezing) Regulations 2011. These Regulations provided for penalties for breach of the asset freezing measures contained in the EU financial sanctions regime relating to Libya.

International Recovery of Maintenance (Hague Convention 2007 etc.) Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/2814)	MoJ	This instrument implements a multilateral treaty (Hague Convention 2007) which provides for cross-border enforcement of child and spousal maintenance decisions.	The specified provisions of this instrument are inoperative as they are spent amendments where the underlying provision being amended is no longer in effect. In Schedule 4: paragraph 1(3) amends section 1(4) of the Maintenance Orders Act 1958 which has subsequently been revoked and it can therefore be revoked; paragraph 4 amends section 60(10A) and (10B) and section 95 of the Magistrates’ Court Act 1980, all of which have subsequently been repealed, so paragraph 4 can be revoked; paragraph 6(a) makes a deletion in section 108(4)(aa) of the Social Security Administration Act and can be revoked; paragraph 9(3)(a) makes a deletion in regulation 8 of SI 2009/1109 and can be revoked.
The Civil Legal Aid (Merits Criteria) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/104)	MoJ	These regulations govern the assessment of the merits of applications for civil legal aid under Part 1 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012. The relevant measures apply specific merits criteria to civil legal aid applications for certain cases under the Dublin III Regulation and the EU Legal Aid Directive.	The specific provisions of this legislation are no longer relevant to the UK. Since 31 December 2020, the Dublin III Regulation and the EU Legal Aid Directive have not had prospective application in the UK. Accordingly, the measures will be revoked. The revocation will be made subject to savings for ongoing cases so that provision of legal aid can continue in those cases, including where required by article 69 of the Withdrawal Agreement in relation to the EU Legal Aid Directive.
The Criminal Legal Aid (Remuneration) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/435)	MoJ	These regulations make provision about the payment of fees to persons who provide criminal legal aid under Part 1 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012. The relevant measure applies a specific cost class for the remuneration of services in relation to the offence of false evidence before the Court of Justice of the European Union.	The specific provision of this legislation is no longer relevant to the UK. In the UK, the offence no longer applies to proceedings after 31 December 2020. Accordingly, the measure will be revoked.
The Civil Legal Aid (Merits Criteria) (Amendment) (No. 3) Regulations 2013 (SI 2013/3195)	MoJ	These regulations amended the Civil Legal Aid (Merits Criteria) Regulations 2013 to insert the measures relating to the Dublin III Regulation	This legislation is redundant as the measures it inserted into the Civil Legal Aid (Merits Criteria) Regulations 2013 are to be revoked and it did not make any further amendments.
The Libya (Asset-Freezing) (Amendment) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/2071)	HMT	This Regulation amended The Libya (Asset-Freezing) Regulations 2011. These Regulations provided for penalties for breach of the asset freezing measures contained in the EU financial sanctions regime relating to Libya.

The Zimbabwe (Financial Sanctions) (Amendment) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/383)	HMT	This Regulation suspended elements of the underlying EU sanctions regime on Zimbabwe. This EU regime has now been replaced by the autonomous UK regime.	This Regulation is no longer operative as it amends sanctions regulations made under the EU Regime which are now, themselves, repealed.
Family Procedure (Amendment No.4) Rules 2014 (S.I. 2014/3296)	MoJ	This instrument made a number of amendments to the Family Procedure Rules to implement the Protection Measures Regulation, as well as amendments for several other purposes which do not constitute REUL.	The specified provisions of this legislation are inoperative as they are spent amendments to two rules in Part 37 of the Family Procedure Rules 2010. Part 37 was replaced as a whole by SI 2020/758 with no saving or transitional provisions, and so these amending provisions can be revoked.
The Export Control (Various Amendments) Order 2015 (S.I. 2015/97)	DBT	This Order amended EU trade sanctions against the Central African Republic, Russia, Syria, Sudan and South Sudan	This legislation is inoperative because it amended legislation which has since been revoked.

The specified provisions of this legislation are inoperative as they are spent amendments where the underlying provision being amended is no longer in effect. Paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Schedule made amendments to two rules in Part 12 of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998; the whole of Part 12 was substituted by rule 7 of SI 2022/101, so these two paragraphs can also be revoked.
The Registration of Births, Deaths, Marriages and Civil Partnerships (Fees) Regulations 2016 (S.I. 2016/911)	General Register Office	These regulations are REUL only in part. The only REUL provision in these regulations is regulation 3F. This provision enabled the Registrar General to charge a fee for the provision of a multilingual standard form.	The provision is obsolete. This is because the form for which the fee was payable no longer exists. The power to issue the form, itself a REUL provision, was already revoked by SI 2019/745.

The Registration of Births, Deaths, Marriages and Civil Partnerships (Fees) (Amendment) and Multilingual Standard Forms Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/1268)	General Register Office	These regulations are REUL only in part. The only REUL provision is regulation 5 in so far as it inserted regulation 3F into The Registration of Births, Deaths, Marriages and Civil Partnerships (Fees) Regulations 2016 (S.I. 2016/911). This provision enabled the Registrar General to charge a fee for the provision of a multilingual standard form.	The provision is obsolete. This is because the form for which the fee was payable no longer exists. The power to issue the form, itself a REUL provision, was already revoked by SI 2019/745. The REUL provision in these Regulations is proposed to be revoked only for the purposes of tidying up the statute book, as the provision revoked is the same provision revoked in respect of the Registration of Births, Deaths, Marriages and Civil Partnerships (Fees) Regulations 2016 (SI 2016/911).
The Competition (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/93)	DBT	The provisions of this legislation being revoked made amendments to retained EU competition law block exemption regulations.
