(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Discharge of Functions) (Wales) Regulations 2002, made under Part II of the Local Government Act 2000, enabled a local authority in Wales operating executive arrangements to make arrangements for the discharge of its executive functions by area committees, the executive of another local authority or jointly with one or more other local authorities by way of joint committee.
Regulation 12(1) of the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Discharge of Functions) (Wales) Regulations 2002 ("the 2002 Regulations") provided that only a member of the executive could be appointed to a joint committee which exercises executive functions.
These Regulations revoke and replace the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Discharge of Functions) (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2002 which amended the 2002 Regulations. These Regulations provide a positive power of appointment so that non-executive members and officers may serve on joint committees.
