Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013

Section 92: Power to add to supplies protected under the Insolvency Act 1986

599.This section gives the Secretary of State a power to make an order amending sections 233 and 372 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (“IA 1986”). These sections currently allow for certain providers of gas, electricity, water and communications services (“utility supplies”) to seek a personal guarantee from an insolvency practitioner before continuing to supply an insolvent business and prevent such suppliers from demanding that pre-insolvency arrears are cleared as a condition of continuing supply.

600.Subsections (1) and (2) provide a power to enable IT suppliers to be added to the present list of utility supplies to which sections 233 and 372 apply. This reflects the increasing importance of IT supplies to the functioning of modern businesses since these two sections were enacted.

601.Subsections (1) and (2) also enable the Secretary of State to widen the application of these provisions to providers of utility services who are not presently covered by sections 233 and 372. The Government considers this is necessary in order to be able to reflect the way the utility and telecoms markets have evolved and deregulated since these statutory provisions were enacted.

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.
