EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Regulations 2 and 3(1) of these Regulations bring into force sections 24 and 132 of the Policing and Crime Act 2017 (“the 2017 Act”).

Section 24 allows a local policing body to make a scheme for the transfer of staff to it from the police force it maintains. A local policing body may make such a scheme only if it is desirable for the purposes of discharging functions which the body is to take on as a result of changes made to the Police Reform Act 2002 (c. 30) by the 2017 Act, and if the chief officer of the force, or the Secretary of State, consents.

Section 132 amends the Firearms Act 1968 (“the 1968 Act”) and the Firearms Amendment Act 1988 (“the 1988 Act”) to give the Secretary of State power to make Regulations authorising the Secretary of State and the Scottish Ministers to require a payment of a fee before an authority under section 5 of the 1968 Act, an approval under section 15 of the 1988 Act or a licence under the Schedule to the 1998 Act is granted, varied or renewed, and also makes certain consequential amendments.

The transitional provision in regulation 3(2) of these Regulations provides that subsections (3) and (5) of section 132 of the 2017 Act are treated as though they are not in force in relation to an application for an approval under section 15 of the 1988 Act or a licence under the Schedule to the 1988 Act which is made before 1st October 2019.
