(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Section 75(5) of the Race Relations Act 1976 preserves the validity of rules restricting employment by public bodies prescribed under that section to persons of particular birth, nationality, descent or residence, and enables such rules, notwithstanding anything in the Act, to be published, displayed or implemented and advertisements to be published stating the gist of such rules. These Regulations prescribe certain public bodies under section 75(5) and replace the Race Relations (Prescribed Public Bodies) Regulations 1994 which are revoked.
The effects of the new Regulations are:
(1) to remove the Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) from the former list of prescribed public bodies in SI 1994/109. Surrender of the Charter of the SERC was approved by Her Majesty in Council on 13 April 1994. Royal Charters granted by Her Majesty in Council on 16 December 1993 incorporated three new bodies which by Orders in Council dated 24 February 1994 were declared to be Research Councils for the purposes of section 1(1)(c) of the Science and Technology Act 1965. The three new Research Councils now have between them responsibility for most areas of research previously covered by the SERC. None of these new Research Councils wishes to be prescribed under the provisions of the 1976 Act.
(2) to give effect to changes in the way four of the bodies are listed by omitting the limiting words which followed their titles in SI 1994/109 and by substituting the correct statutory title, "Metropolitan Police Office", in place of "Metropolitan Police Service".
