Long title

A Bill to make provision for limiting the use of hydrofluorocarbons in certain premises; and for connected purposes.

Summary

The Bill would require the Secretary of State, having consulted 'such persons as he considers appropriate' to make regulations:

  • to phase out the use of hydrofluorocarbons in equipment used in large shops within five years of the Bill becoming an Act
  • to specify a date by which the use of equipment using hydrofluorocarbons in other commercial premises must be ended.

The Bill uses the definition of a 'large shop' contained in schedule 1 of the Sunday Trading Act 1994, which is a shop with a floor area exceeding 280 square metres.
