(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Police Authority Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/630) and the Metropolitan Police Authority Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/631) to provide that selection panels (which have the function of short-listing candidates for appointment as independent members of a police authority) may act with one fewer than their full complement of members if at least one week´s notice of the meeting in question has been given, if one member of the panel has died, or if a panel member has consented in writing to the other members acting in his absence. The Police Authority (Community Engagement and Membership) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/421) reduced the number of members of selection panels to three (in the case of non-metropolitan police authorities) and four (in the case of the Metropolitan Police Authority) but omitted to make consequential changes to the numbers of members who could act without the full complement being present. These Regulations make such changes.
1996 c. 16; section 4(4) was amended by section 2 of, and paragraph 1 of Schedule 2 to, the Police and Justice Act 2006 (c. 48); section 5C was inserted by section 310(1) of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (c. 29), and subsection (6) of that section 5C was amended by section 2 of, and paragraph 3 of Schedule 2 to, the Police and Justice Act 2006; Schedule 2 was substituted by section 2 of, and paragraph 2 of Schedule 2 to, the Police and Justice Act 2006; Schedule 2A was inserted by section 310(2) of, and Schedule 26 to, the Greater London Authority Act 1999 and was substituted by paragraph 4 of Schedule 2 to the Police and Justice Act 2006.
