Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Explanatory Note

These Regulations amend the Subsidy Control (Subsidy Database Information Requirements) Regulations 2022, specifically regulation 4, so as to remove the requirement for a public authority’s entry in the subsidy database in respect of a subsidy given under a subsidy scheme to include the information required by regulation 3(p), (q), (r), (s), (t), (u), (v), (w) and (x). This information continues to be required for a public authority’s entry in the subsidy database in respect of a subsidy given other than under a subsidy scheme.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for these Regulations as no, or no significant, impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen, and it reduces the current impact of the subsidy control regime on the public sector. An Explanatory Memorandum is published alongside these Regulations.
