Notes

  1. Antarctic Act 1994 (c. 15)
  2. The Queen's Printer edition erroneously begins with the words "An Act to to", but the Journals of the House of Commons confirm that the Bill of the same name which was given royal assent on 28 February 2013 began with the words "A Bill to".[4] The long title of the Act must, therefore, correspond.
