(This note is not part of the Order)
In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, only "designated" Ministers and departments can exercise powers in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (c.68) to make orders, rules, regulations and schemes. This is one of a series of Orders by which the Ministers and departments are designated for the purposes of section 2(2) in relation to different subject areas.
Article 2 designates the Secretary of State in respect of the re-use of public sector information.
Article 3 designates the Treasury in relation to consumer credit.
Article 4 revokes existing designations which were superseded by previous Orders or by this Order.
Article 5 provides that except for Article 4, a new designation does not restrict the scope of designations in other Orders and allows Ministers and departments designated in relation to the same maters to legislate jointly as well as individually.
A full Impact Assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
