The Recovery of Costs (Remand to Youth Detention Accommodation) (Amendment No. 2) Regulations 2017

These Regulations amend the Recovery of Costs (Remand to Youth Detention Accommodation) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/507) by transferring the power of the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales to recover the cost of a night of remand to youth detention accommodation to the Secretary of State. These Regulations provide for a transition period between 18th December 2017 and 17th December 2018 to allow for the effective transfer of the administrative arrangements associated with the cost recovery process. During that time the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales and the Secretary of State can both issue invoices to seek to recover the cost of a night of accommodation for remand to youth detention accommodation. The local authority is only liable to pay one of these bodies (either the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales or the Secretary of State).
