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. Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends paragraph B by inserting four new items which are concerned with functions under the Gambling Act 2005. The effect of these amendments is that the functions in question are not to be the responsibility of the authority's executive.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
