(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make a modification to the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, so that the Council of the Isles of Scilly is treated as a local authority in England for the purposes of that Act.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of the Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
A “local authority in England” is defined in section 197(1) of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 as meaning: “(a) a county council in England, (b) a district council for an area in England for which there is no county council, (c) a London borough council, or (d) the Common Council of the City of London.”
