Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Motor Vehicles (Off Road Events) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/1371) (“the 1995 Regulations”). These amendments apply in relation to motoring events taking place wholly or partly in Wales in respect of which an application for authorisation under the 1995 Regulations is made on or after the coming into force of these Regulations. Where an event takes place partly in Wales and partly elsewhere, these Regulations apply only to the part taking place in Wales.
Regulation 4 amends the list of bodies appointed to authorise off-road events in Wales. The changes are:
Association of Land Rover Clubs Limited replaces Association of Rover Clubs Limited;
Auto-Cycle Union Limited replaces the Auto-Cycle Union; and
the Royal Automobile Club Motor Sports Association Limited replaces the Royal Automobile Club.
Regulation 5 makes additional provision in relation to the setting of application fees by the authorising bodies. Any fee determined must not exceed a reasonable amount. Fee levels are required to be published and may not be increased unless details of any increase are published at least 3 months before it takes effect.
A regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in relation to these Regulations. Copies may be obtained from the Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3NQ.
