EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Legislative and Regulatory Reform (Regulatory Functions) Order 2007. It inserts a reference to the Marine Management Organisation, a body corporate established by section 1 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 (c. 23), into Part 1 of the Schedule to that Order.

The Schedule lists the regulatory functions to which sections 21 and 22 of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 (c. 51) apply. Section 21 sets out the principles to which any person exercising a regulatory function must have regard. Section 22 provides for the issuing of a code of practice (the Regulators’ Compliance Code) to which that person must have regard.

A copy of the Regulators’ Compliance Code is available from the Better Regulation Executive, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H OET.

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