This backdating ensured the wartime controls ended as soon as possible after the war.\n* **Housekeeping**: This is part of post-war \"demobilisation\" of emergency laws. The National Security Act gave the government sweeping wartime powers; this instrument removes one specific set of those powers (aircraft production controls) now that the war is over.\n\n**Who it affects**\n\nPrimarily aircraft manufacturers and the Department of Defence, though practically this removed bureaucratic restrictions on the aviation industry during the transition to peacetime production.\n\n**Why it matters**\n\nIt formally ends government control over aircraft production, returning the industry to normal civilian regulation."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/national-security-regulations-repeal-regulations-no-11","history":"/api/acts/national-security-regulations-repeal-regulations-no-11/history","analysis":"/api/acts/national-security-regulations-repeal-regulations-no-11/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/national-security-regulations-repeal-regulations-no-11/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/national-security-regulations-repeal-regulations-no-11/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/national-security-regulations-repeal-regulations-no-11/documents"}}
