Legislation round-up

This update is provided by Current Awareness and News

In force: 8 Dec 2008

Legislation: Appointments Commission (Amendment) Regulations 2008 (SI 2008/2792)

Sumamry: Amend the Appointments Commission Regulations 2006 (SI 2006/2380) to reduce the prescribed number of non-executive members of the Appointments Commission from five to four and the prescribed number of executive members of the Appointments Commission from four to three. The Appointments Commission was established by the Health Act 2006. The membership of the Commission consists of the chairman, the chief executive and the number of non-executive members and executive members prescribed by regulations. The Appointments Commission is an organisation dealing with lower volumes of appointments, but a wider portfolio of clients, due to a reduction in the number of NHS Strategic Health Authorities and Primary Care Trusts. It is hoped the reduction of board members will be more suitable to the needs of the organisation going forward.

In force: 15 Nov 2008; 1 Dec 2008; and 1 Apr 2012

Legislation: Landfill Tax (Material from Contaminated Land) (Phasing out of Exemption) Order 2008 (SI 2008/2669)
