Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013

Section 96: Royal Charters: requirements for Parliamentary approval

609.On 29th November 2012 the Report of An Inquiry into the Culture, Practices and Ethics of the Press was presented to Parliament (HC 780) (“the Leveson Report”). In the report, the Rt. Hon. Lord Justice Leveson makes a range of recommendations to reform the regulatory framework for the press, creating a new system for press regulation, with the principle of industry self-regulation at its heart. One of the recommendations of the Leveson Report was that a body should be given responsibility for recognising whether any independent self-regulator established by the press met certain criteria (principally set out in recommendations 1 to 24 of the Leveson Report). On 18th March 2013, the Government published and laid before Parliament its proposals for a royal charter for the establishment of such a body, with the agreement of the Official Opposition.

610.Section 96 will apply to a body established by a Royal Charter after 1st March 2013 where the Charter contains a requirement that Parliament must approve amendments to the Charter or the dissolution of the body the Charter establishes. It will provide that such a requirement contained in the Charter on the date it is granted must be satisfied before steps can be taken to recommend, via the Privy Council, dissolution or amendment to Her Majesty in Council.

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.
