Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This regulation is a legislative clean-up exercise that removes two obsolete sets of workplace rules from the statute books.

What it does

Section 3: Repeals the 1986 Regulations related to the Builders Labourers' Federation (BLF)—rules that were put in place after this construction union was deregistered in the 1980s.
Section 4: Repeals the 1995 Transitional Regulations for the Construction Industry Development Agency—an agency that no longer exists.

Who it affects Construction industry employers, unions, and anyone still technically bound by these outdated rules.

Why it matters It removes "dead wood" from the law. These regulations are no longer enforced or necessary, so deleting them makes the legal framework clearer and easier to navigate without changing anyone's actual rights or obligations today.
