The Secretary of State makes the following regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 45C, 45F(2) and 45P(2) of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984(1).
The Secretary of State considers that the restrictions and requirements imposed by these Regulations are proportionate to what they seek to achieve, which is a public health response to the threat to public health posed by the incidence and spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in England.
The Secretary of State declares, in accordance with section 45Q(3) of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984, that he is of the opinion that these Regulations do not contain any provision made by virtue of section 45C(3)(c) of that Act which imposes or enables the imposition of a special restriction or requirement or any other restriction or requirement which has or would have a significant effect on a person’s rights.
1984 c. 22; sections 45C to 45T were inserted by section 129 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (c. 14); there are other amendments to the Act, but none is relevant. The Secretary of State is the appropriate Minister who may make regulations as respects England under section 45T(6) of the Act.
