Regulation 2 revokes regulation 6A of the Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) (Scotland) Regulations 2012 (“the 2012 Regulations”).
This removes the requirement in regulation 6A for Scottish Ministers to gather information on the relevant protected characteristics of members of a listed authority and provide that information to the listed authority in question. The consequent duties in regulation 6A on listed authorities are also revoked. They are: the duty to use the information to better perform their public sector equality duty; the duty to include in their mainstreaming progress reports details of the number of men and of women who have been members of the authority during the period covered by the report; and how it has used or is planning to use the information provided by the Scottish Ministers to take steps towards increasing diversity amongst its members so far as relevant protected characteristics are concerned.
Regulation 3 is consequential to the revocation in regulation 2, revoking regulation 4 of the Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2016, which inserted regulation 6A into the 2012 Regulations.
