Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 25 of and Schedule 4 to the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (“the Act”) provide for the creation of the Competition and Markets Authority (“CMA”). Section 26 of and Schedules 5 and 6 to the Act provide for the abolition of the Office of Fair Trading (“OFT”) and the Competition Commission (“the Commission”) and for the transfer of functions from the OFT and the Commission to the CMA.

Section 25(1), (2) and (4) of the Act, and provisions of Schedule 4 to the Act, are brought into force on 1st October 2013 by the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (Commencement No. 3, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/2227). This Order makes a consequential amendment to the National Assembly for Wales (Disqualification) Order 2010 (“the 2010 Order”) necessitated by the establishment of the CMA on 1st October 2013.

The 2010 Order lists the OFT and Commission as bodies whose members are disqualified from election to the National Assembly for Wales. This Order extends this disqualification to members of the CMA.

The provisions of the Act abolishing the OFT and Commission have not yet been brought into force.
