Status:There are multiple versions of this provision on screen. These apply to different geographical extents.StatusThe term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section.Sometimes the text of a provision is changed, but the change(s) only apply to a particular geographical area. In some limited cases where this happens, the editorial team create a version for each different geographical area. Multiple versions are only created in this way where the change in question is a substitution so that there are different versions of the text for the different extents. Insertions and repeals of text do not give rise to such multiple versions.Skip to: E+W+S - England, Wales and Scotland extentN.I. - Northern Ireland extentChanges to legislation:There are outstanding changes not yet made by the legislation.gov.uk editorial team to Radioactive Substances Act 1993.
