EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

The Local Government Officers (Political Restrictions) Regulations 1990 (“the 1990 Regulations”) impose restrictions on the public political activities of local government officers who are appointed to or employed in posts which are politically restricted posts for the purposes of Part 1 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989. The restrictions take the form of terms and conditions that are deemed to be incorporated into those officers’ terms of appointment and conditions of employment. The restrictions applicable to all holders of politically restricted posts are set out in Part 1 of the Schedule to the Regulations. Additional restrictions applicable to officers who are not appointed as political assistants under section 9 of the 1989 Act are set out in Part 2 of the Schedule. Additional restrictions applicable to political assistants appointed under section 9 are set out in Part 3 of the Schedule.

These Regulations amend the 1990 Regulations to disapply certain restrictions in the case of a person who is the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, appointed under section 19 of the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011.

A full impact assessment has not been produced in relation to these Regulations as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
