This is the sixth Order made under the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986 ("the Act") and revokes the previous Order.
Article 2 provides for, and Schedule 1 lists, the vessels designated as vessels to which the Act applies. This list includes the following vessels, which are designated as vessels for the first time under the Act: HMS Aboukir, HMHS Anglia, SS Armenian, HMS Cressy, HMS E47, HMS E49, HMS Falmouth, HMS Hogue, HMS Lady Patricia, HMS Laurentic, HMS Moldavia, HMS Pheasant, HMS Viknor.
Article 3 provides for, and Schedule 2 lists, the areas designated as controlled sites under the Act.
Article 4 revokes the previous Order.
A place is ‘a protected place' under the Act if it comprises the remains of a vessel designated under article 2 and is on the sea bed or in the immediate vicinity of where the remains were left.
An area designated as a ‘controlled site' does not extend around a place any more than is necessary for the purpose of protecting or preserving the remains of a vessel or on account of the difficulty of identifying that place.
