This Order designates the Independent Monitoring Authority for the Citizens’ Rights Agreements (the “IMA”) for the purposes of section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 (c. 47).
The effect is to make the IMA a “public authority” for the purposes of that section. Such a public authority is subject to the statutory duties, set out in section 75(1) and (2), to have regard in carrying out its functions relating to Northern Ireland—
to the need to promote equality of opportunity (a) between persons of different religious belief, political opinion, racial group, age, marital status or sexual orientation; (b) between men and women generally; (c) between persons with a disability and persons without; and (d) between persons with dependants and persons without; and
to the desirability of promoting good relations between persons of different religious belief, political opinion or racial group.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this Order as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
1967 c. 13. Schedule 2 was amended by paragraph 17 of Schedule 2 to the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 (c. 1); there are other amending instruments but none is relevant.
