# The Local Authorities (Functions and Responsibilities) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2006, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Local Authorities (Functions and Responsibilities) (England) Regulations 2000 (“the 2000 Regulations”). They apply in relation to local authorities in England.
Part 2 of the Local Government Act 2000 provides for the discharge of a local authority’s functions by an executive of the authority, unless those functions are specified as functions that are not to be the responsibility of the authority’s executive.
These Regulations amend the 2000 Regulations to specify the power to resolve not to issue a casino licence and the function of enforcing byelaws as functions which are not to be the responsibility of the executive. They also amend the 2000 Regulations in respect of functions relating to certain plans and strategies which are to be the shared responsibility of the authority and the executive.
Regulation 2(3) of, and Part 1 of Schedule 1 to, these Regulations amend Schedule 1 to the 2000 Regulations (functions not to be the responsibility of an authority’s executive) so that the power to resolve not to issue a casino premises licence under section 166 of the Gambling Act 2005 is not to be the responsibility of the executive and the power to enforce byelaws is also not to be the responsibility of the executive.
Regulation 2(4) of, and Part 2 of Schedule 2 to, these Regulations amend Schedule 3 to the 2000 Regulations (functions not to be the sole responsibility of an authority’s executive) by substituting for the reference to a children’s services plan a reference to a children and young people’s plan and for the reference to an early years development plan a reference to a licensing authority policy statement. Functions relating to the children and young people’s plan and the licensing authority policy statement are thus to be the shared responsibility of the authority and the executive. The provisions referred to also amend Schedule 3 by removing references to a community care plan and an education development plan which, along with the children’s service plan and the early years development plan, local authorities are no longer required to prepare and publish.
