Commentary on Sections

Part 1: Uk Green Investment Bank Plc

Section 2: Designation of the UK Green Investment Bank

30.Subsection (1) of section 2 introduces a power for the Secretary of State to designate the UK Green Investment Bank plc by order for the purposes of sections 3 to 6, subject to three conditions being met.

31.Subsections (2) and (3) set out the first two conditions. These require the Secretary of State to be satisfied that the UK Green Investment Bank plc’s statement of objects, in its articles, is drafted in terms that will ensure that this company engages only in activities that contribute to achieving one or more of the statutory ‘green purposes’ stated in section 1 and that its investment activities would, taken as a whole, be likely to contribute to a reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions.

32.Subsection (5) sets out the third condition, which is that the Secretary of State must have provided the UK Green Investment Bank plc with an operational independence undertaking and laid this before Parliament. The purpose of the operational independence undertaking is to facilitate the UK Green Investment Bank plc’s ability to operate independently, so that it can make investments that it considers appropriate in the light of its statement of objects, at arm’s length from Government.

33.Subsection (6) introduces a limitation on the power to designate contained in subsection (1). The Secretary of State may only exercise this power if the UK Green Investment Bank plc is wholly owned by the Crown. Subsection (7) provides that an order under subsection (1) cannot be amended or revoked.

34.Subsection (8) provides that the power in subsection (1) is subject to the affirmative resolution of Parliament.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
