Compiler's notes

Named from source by the instrument finder: the Act's own F-note on s3(1)(c) cites SI 2014/623 art 2(1). The Order amends two sections in one sentence, which the parser now reads as one amendment per target. The prior figure's start date is not read from any archived instrument and is marked pending backfill.
