(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Local Authorities (Functions and Responsibilities) (England) Regulations 2000 ("the 2000 Regulations").
Parts 1 and 2 of the Schedule to these Regulations (which are introduced by regulation 2) set out amendments to Schedules 1 and 2, respectively, to the 2000 Regulations.
Part 1 adds further functions to those that are already listed in Schedule 1 (functions not to be the responsibility of the authority's executive). These further functions are concerned with licensing under the Licensing Act 2003, certain powers and duties under the Highways Act 1980, and miscellaneous functions under the Local Government Act 2000.
The effect of Part 2 is to replace paragraphs 4 to 6 in Schedule 2 (functions which may be (but need not be) the responsibility of an authority's executive) to the 2000 Regulations. The new paragraphs are concerned with functions relating to provisions of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, as inserted by the Education Act 2002, and provisions of the Education Act 2002 and subordinate legislation made under that Act which replace certain repealed provisions of the School Standards Framework Act 1998.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business, charities, voluntary bodies or the public sector.
