(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Rehabilitation of Offenders (Exceptions) Order 1979 (“the 1979 Order”) The 1979 Order disapplies specified provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders (Northern Ireland) Order 1978 (“the 1978 Order”) to allow questions to be asked about spent convictions in order to assess a person’s suitability for admission to certain occupations or to hold certain types of employment, licences or permits. It also allows spent convictions, or a failure to disclose them, to be grounds for excluding a person from these occupations or for making decisions in relation to those types of employments, licences and permits.
Articles 3 and 4 of this Order update the 1979 Order to permit the Financial Conduct Authority to take spent convictions into account when exercising certain functions under the Payment Services Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009 No. 209) and the Electronic Money Regulations 2011(S.I. 2022 No. 99) relating to payment institutions and electronic money institutions.
These functions were previously included in the 1979 Order by The Rehabilitation of Offenders (Exceptions) (Amendment) Order (Northern Ireland) 2012 (S.R. 2012 No. 318) but consequential amendments arising from The Financial Services Act 2012 (2012 c. 21) that were contained in The Financial Services Act 2012 (Consequential Amendments and Transitional Provisions) Order 2013 (S.I. 2013 No. 472) inadvertently omitted these functions from the substituted text to be inserted into the 1979 Order.
Articles 3 and 4 correct this oversight by re-instating the omitted text to ensure that the Financial Conduct Authority can operate consistently across all jurisdictions of the United Kingdom.
This Order comes into operation on 1st August 2014.
S.I. 1978/1908 (N.I. 27); Article 4(1) of and paragraph 6 of Schedule 1 to S.I. 2010/976 transferred the Order making powers of the Secretary of State to the Department of Justice.
S.R. 1979 No. 195; relevant amending Orders are S.R. 1987 No. 393, S.R. 2001/No. 248, S.R. 2001 No. 400, S.R. 2003 No. 355, S.R. 2006 No. 425, S.R. 2009 No. 173, S.R. 2009 No.303, S.R. 2012 No. 318 and S.R. 2014 No. 27
