Here it refers to the noun of the prepositional phrase the Consumer act.

But trick is to remember that A prepositional phrase WILL NEVER CONTAIN THE MAIN SUBJECT OF A SENTENCE.

Meaning,

Neither of these cookbooks contains the recipe for Manhattan-style squid eyeball stew.

the verb contains is associated with Neither which is a singular.
However of these cookbooks is a prepositional phrase where cookbooks is a noun.A plural one.
So,associating contains with cookbooks will cause a SV error.

I know that "which" should modify the noun right next to it. - not always. The usage is dependent on the meaning of the sentence and the context in which it is used.

But what if it is a prepositional phrase like the one above?

Thanks!
In this case it refers to the "The Consumer Act in 1999"
