Paragraph 8
193.Sub-paragraph (2) inserts a new subsection (2C) into section 16B (discriminatory advertisements) of the DDA and ensures that section 16B(1) will not apply to advertisements inviting applications from persons in their capacity as members of a locally-electable authority for a relevant appointment or benefit which the authority is intending to make or confer. This is because section 16B, which was inserted into the DDA by the Amendment Regulations, relates to the provisions in Part 2 of the DDA governing the employment field and has no application to the relationships governed by new sections 15A to 15C (councillors and members of the Greater London Authority).
