Amendments to text as they appear in the amending legislation are in green font delimited by double quotes.
In the publication Statutes in Force (SIF), from which the originating text of SLD was mainly derived, purely amending or repealing provisions were generally not reproduced. In most cases these provisions have been restored on SLD but do not reflect any amendments made to them prior to the SLD basedate. Where this is the case, an annotation explains the position.

Northern Ireland Variations Amending and repealing schedules in pre-2006 legislation (and individual amending provisions in pre-1982 legislation only) do not appear in the text of Northern Ireland revised legislation. Amendments to those provisions are not carried through to the database. Amending and repealing schedules in legislation made from 1991 to 2005 may be accessed on SLD, but only in the form in which they were originally enacted, in the legislation type ‘Order in Council (N.I.) (Unrevised)’. Details of amendments to these schedules and provisions can be found in the Northern Ireland Chronological Tables of the Statutes (available only in hard copy, published by The Stationery Office, Belfast).
