The deletions cover premises not used for a food business for more than 7 days in 8 consecutive weeks; premises used for supply or sale of fish (other than for retail sale of fish) or harvesting food; dairies premises at which no food is intended for sale or human consumption; dairy farms and premises to which the Nursing and Residential Homes (Jersey) Law 1994 applies. Article 3 also deletes a reference to the repealed Children (Jersey) Law 1969 and clarifies that domestic premises used for private child fostering arrangements are exempt from registration.

Article 4 sets out the title of the Law and provides that it will come into force 7 days after the day it is made.

The Order was made on 7th December 2017 and comes into force on 14th December 2017.
