EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations correct an error in regulation 5(1)(b) of the Valuation Tribunal for England (Membership and Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2009. That provision currently disqualifies a person for membership of the Valuation Tribunal for England (“VTE”) after 1st October 2009 if the person or their spouse or civil partner is a member of the Valuation Tribunal Service or of its staff. The amendment made by regulation 2 of these Regulations limits disqualification to persons who are, or whose spouse or civil partner is, a member of the VTE’s staff.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
