EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order in Council is made under sections 1 and 2 of the Ministers of the Crown Act 1975.

There is currently no holder of the office of First Secretary of State, and the corporation sole created by that name by the Transfer of Functions (Transport, Local Government and the Regions) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/2626) is accordingly vacant. Functions assigned to that office by legislation are transferred by article 4 to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government or by article 3, 6 or 7 to the Secretary of State.

Article 5 transfers to the Secretary of State for Transport or to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government functions conferred by virtue of enactments which have been amended to refer respectively to the Secretary of State for Transport or the Secretary of State for the Environment, but which have been the subject of orders transferring functions to the Secretary of State or the First Secretary of State.

Articles 8 to 10 provide for the transfer, to particular Secretaries of State, of property, rights and liabilities in connection with the transfer of functions.

Article 11 makes supplementary provision for continuity. Article 12 and the Schedule make consequential amendments.

Nothing in this Order alters the functions of the Welsh Ministers, the Scottish Ministers or the devolved authorities in Northern Ireland.

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