EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

This Order amends the Government Resources and Accounts (Northern Ireland) Act 2001 (Estimates and Accounts) (Designation of Bodies) Order 2023 (S.I. 2023 No. 53) (“the principal Order”), which designates specified central government bodies in relation to named government departments for the purpose of those departments’ supply estimates and resource accounts.

A new Schedule is substituted for the Schedule to the principal Order. The effect of this amendment is that one body has been removed.

The designations have effect for the financial year that ends on 31 March 2024.

An impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen. An Explanatory Memorandum is available alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.
