Commentary

Section 2: Duty as regards registers

8.Section 2 imposes a duty on the authorities referred to in subsection (2) to have regard to the registers when carrying out certain functions. These functions are specified in subsection (4) as functions relating to planning, housing, the disposal of any land of the authority and regeneration.

9.The Secretary of State also has a regulation-making power allowing the Secretary of State to provide for other public authorities to be required to have regard to the registers and to be considered as the authorities for specified areas. This means that an authority so specified may not necessarily be required to have regard to the register for its entire geographic areas of competence.
