# The Charities (Royal Holloway and Bedford New College) Order 2022, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order gives effect to the Charity Commission’s Scheme for the administration of the Royal Holloway and Bedford New College (“the College”), a charity regulated by the Royal Holloway and Bedford New College Act 1985; this Order amends that Act.
The Scheme amends the objects of the College so that the College can continue to provide instruction leading to the award of degrees of the University of London, but also award degrees in its own name and the name of any third party, and provides a power for the College to change its name, subject to the approval of the Privy Council, in order to be referred to as a University.
The Scheme also widens and modernises the powers of the College to further its objects, allows the College’s Council to elect from amongst its members more than one Vice-chair, and ensures that the College must continue to abide by the statutes and regulations of the University of London while it retains (under the statutes of the University of London) its status as a Member Institution (constituent member) of the University of London.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this Order as no impact on the private or wider voluntary sectors is foreseen.
