Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations are made in consequence of the repeal of the European Communities Act 1972 (c.68) by section 1 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c.16).

They revoke the Orders in Council made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 by which Ministers or departments were designated in relation to different subject matter areas for the purposes of implementing EU law.

These Regulations also revoke the designation in Article 6 of the Transfer of Functions (Equality) Order 2007 (S.I. 2007/2914).

A full Impact Assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
