Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order adds a number of offices to which appointments or nominations are made by the Lord Chancellor to those listed in Part 3 of Schedule 14 to the Constitutional Reform Act 2005. The Police (Conduct) (Senior Officers) Regulations 1999 have been revoked by regulation 2 of the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2004, but the reference is included because a saving in regulation 2 of the 2004 Regulations means that the 1999 Regulations are still in force in respect of conduct which occurred or commenced before 1st April 2004. Inclusion on the list means that appointment or nomination and, where relevant, discipline of those office holders will be carried out in accordance with Part 4 of that Act. This Order also removes references to a number of offices where the legislation creating them has been revoked.
