It suggests the advisory body structures created in 1978 were either abolished, consolidated, or replaced by new arrangements that no longer required these specific regulations."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/science-and-industry-research-advisory-council-and-state-committees-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/science-and-industry-research-advisory-council-and-state-committees-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/science-and-industry-research-advisory-council-and-state-committees-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/science-and-industry-research-advisory-council-and-state-committees-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/science-and-industry-research-advisory-council-and-state-committees-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/science-and-industry-research-advisory-council-and-state-committees-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
