EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

The Secretary of State may designate any body that appears to him to represent the interests of consumers and satisfies the other criteria published by him as a designated consumer body for the purpose of submitting a “super-complaint” under section 11 of the Enterprise Act 2002.

This Order amends the Enterprise Act 2002 (Bodies Designated to make Super-complaints) Order 2004 (S.I. 2004/1517) to reflect the changes made by the Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Act 2007 (the “2007 Act”, c.17). Section 1 of the 2007 Act established a body corporate known as the National Consumer Council or in Welsh Cyngor Defnyddwyr Cenedlaethol (the “NCC”). The NCC will carry out the functions previously carried on by a body which was also known as the National Consumer Council, which is a company limited by guarantee and will be wound up. Section 30 of the 2007 Act provides for the abolition of both the Gas and Electricity Consumer Council and the Consumer Council for Postal Services and for the transfer of their functions to the NCC. Those bodies have, therefore, been removed from the list set out in the Schedule to the Order.

An impact assessment has not been prepared for this Order as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
