EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

The Parliamentary Corporate Bodies (Crown Immunities etc.) Order 1992 (S.I. 19921732) put the Corporate Officer of the House of Lords and the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons in a corresponding position to that of the Crown for the purposes of the application to them of certain enactments, including the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 ("the Planning Acts").

Part 7 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 applied the Planning Acts to the Crown. The Planning (Application to the Houses of Parliament) Order 2006 specifies as Crown interests the interests of the two Speakers and one or both of the Corporate Officers in particular parts of the Palace of Westminster and its precincts and provides that the appropriate authority in relation to that land is one or both of the Corporate Officers, as the case may be. The amendments made by this Order are consequential to the Planning (Application to the Houses of Parliament) Order 2006.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business, charities, voluntary bodies or the public sector.
