Explanatory note

These Regulations set out the circumstances in which an entity is regarded as being under the control of another for the purposes of sections 65 and 66 of the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 (c.13). Those sections set out certain grounds on which a person is disqualified from being elected to or holding office as a police and crime commissioner. Those grounds include employment in an entity which is under the control of certain persons or bodies connected with policing or local authorities.

Regulation 2 provides that an entity is under the control of a specified policing or other body, or a chief officer of police, when appointments to the entity may be made or confirmed by the body or officer or, in certain cases, by a committee on which they are represented.

Regulation 3 sets out that an entity is under the control of a relevant council when appointments to the entity may be made or confirmed by the council.
