# The Race Relations Act 1976 (General Statutory Duty) Order 2006, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends Schedule 1A to the Race Relations Act 1976 (c.74) which lists the persons and bodies who, by virtue of section 71(1) of that Act, are subject to the general duty to have due regard, when exercising their functions, to the need to eliminate unlawful racial discrimination and to promote equality of opportunity and good relations between persons of different racial groups.
This Order omits from Parts 1 to 4 of Schedule 1A, the entries for Scottish Homes, the Royal Fine Art Commission for Scotland, the Pensions Compensation Board and Bòrd na Gàidhlig (Alba) and adds a new Part 5, set out in the Schedule to this Order, which specifies other persons and bodies to which the general duty applies.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
