Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013

Part 1, Schedule 22: Regulation of licensing bodies
Codes of Practice

529.Paragraph 1 of Schedule 22 inserts a new Schedule A1 into the CDPA 1988. Paragraphs 1 and 2 of Part 1 of Schedule A1 enable the Secretary of State to establish procedures, through secondary legislation, to require a licensing body to adopt a code of practice that complies with criteria specified in the regulations. This is intended to be used where a licensing body fails to adhere to a self-regulatory code containing minimum standards set by Government.

Licensing code ombudsman

530.Paragraph 3 enables the Secretary of State to make provision for the appointment, remit and powers of an Ombudsman to investigate disputes.

Code reviewer

531.Paragraph 4 enables the Secretary of State to make provision for the appointment, remit and powers of a person to review and report on compliance with the codes of practice adopted by licensing bodies. It makes further provision for the provision of information to the code reviewer and for payments to him.

Sanctions

532.Paragraph 5 makes provision through the regulations for sanctions, including financial penalties (at a maximum £50,000), to apply to licensing bodies for failures to comply with requirements set out in the regulations. There are provisions for the imposition of sanctions on a director, and other responsible personnel, where that is deemed appropriate. The regulations must also include provisions for a licensing body to appeal against the imposition of a sanction or penalty.

Fees

533.Paragraph 6 enables the Secretary of State to charge fees to a licensing body that becomes subject to statutory regulation. The amount charged in fees must not be more than the cost of administering the regulation.

General

534.Paragraph 7 sets out the ambit of any regulations made under this Schedule.

535.Regulations would be made by the affirmative procedure.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
