Please remove the following text:

It appears between the England and Scotland portions of the Enforcement section.

 * Yes check.svg Done. I removed the template that placed that markup on the page, but doing that made it appear that Council of the Isles of Scilly was not a sub-bullet of England. I instead removed the entire 2-column markup so that it is readily apparent what is a sub-bullet of England and what is a first-level bullet. If someone knows a better way to implement the 2-column format I have no objection against re-adding it. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 21:41, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

The following is a quote from the page: "It established a system of public supervision through aids the creation of the Health and Safety Commission and Health and Safety Executive, since merged, and bestows extensive enforcement powers, ultimately backed by criminal sanctions extending to unlimited fines and imprisonment for up to two years." The word 'aids' should be removed as it does not belong i the sentence. The sentence should read as follows: "It established a system of public supervision through the creation of the Health and Safety Commission and Health and Safety Executive, since merged, and bestows extensive enforcement powers, ultimately backed by criminal sanctions extending to unlimited fines and imprisonment for up to two years." Thank you.
