EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations amend the Local Authorities (Functions and Responsibilities) (England) Regulations 2000 ("the 2000 Regulations"). They apply in relation to local authorities in England.

Part 2 of the Local Government Act 2000 provides for the discharge of a local authority's functions by an executive of the authority, unless those functions are specified as functions that are not to be the responsibility of the authority's executive.

Schedule 1 to the 2000 Regulations lists functions which are not to be the responsibility of the authority's executive. Paragraph B of Schedule 1 is concerned with functions relating to licensing and registration functions. Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends paragraph B by inserting new items which are concerned with functions under sections 29, 30, 39, 284 and 342 of, and Part 5 of Schedule 11 to, the Gambling Act 2005 ("the 2005 Act"). The effect of these amendments is that the functions in question are not to be the responsibility of the authority's executive.

These regulations also make changes to items 6 to 11 of Schedule 1 to the 2000 Regulations in light of the repeal of the enactments specified in those items by the 2005 Act. The changes reflect the fact that those enactments are preserved for the purposes of enabling any application made under them to be determined where that application has been made but not determined before the commencement of the repeal.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
