Public Works Act 1981

Preliminary

3: Power to declare specific public work to be essential work

You could also call this:

“The government can no longer call a public work 'essential'”

This section of the law used to give someone the power to say that a specific public work was essential. However, this part of the law no longer exists. It was removed on 31 March 1987. This means that the government can no longer use this specific power to declare a public work as essential.
