Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments First Report


Appendix 3 S.I. 2003/2604: memorandum from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister

Council Tax and Non-Domestic Rating (Electronic Communications) (England) Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/2604)

1. The Committee has asked for a memorandum on the following point -

Article 6(b) inserts in the Non-Domestic Rating (Collection and Enforcement) (Local Lists) Regulations 1989 a definition of the demand notice regulations. Why does the definition not include a reference to the Council Tax and Non-Domestic Rating (Demand Notices) (England) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/2613)?

2. The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister accepts that a reference to the Council Tax and Non-Domestic Rating (Demand Notices) (England) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/2613) ought to have been included in the definition. It was omitted due to an oversight for which the Office apologises. An amendment will be made before the end of the year to the Non-Domestic Rating (Collection and Enforcement) (Local Lists) Regulations 1989 to include such a reference and the amending instrument will be issued free of charge.
