Commencement orders: a lifetime of achievement, by Nicholas Hancox
Keen as I am to keep up with a fast-changing world, I was last week browsing happily through the list of new statutory instruments on the TSO (The Stationery Office) website. Actually, it's not called TSO any more; TSO seems to have vanished and reverted to HMSO. HMSO is now part of something called OPSI and OPSI in its turn is part of the National Archive. I expect we are all part of the National Archive by now, even if the ID cards have not yet been printed… But I digress. Browsing as I was, I chanced upon the “No 1 Commencement Order” for the Further Education and Training Act 2007. Its proper title is The Further Education and Training Act 2007 (Commencement No 1) (England and Wales) Order 2008 (SI 2008/1065).
So far, so good, but this No 1 Commencement Order contains a helpful note about previous commencement orders for that very same FE and Training
