Part 4: Consumer rights and disputes Exempt ADR providers Section 295: Exempt ADR providers
This section provides for exempt ADR providers for the purposes of section 293.
	Under subsection (1), a person is an "exempt ADR provider" if they are listed, or of a description listed, in Part 1 of Schedule 25 or are acting under, or for the purposes of, one of the "exempt redress schemes" listed or described in Part 2 of that Schedule.
	Subsections (2) to (7) allow the Secretary of State, by regulations, to amend Schedule 25 to add new exemptions, or to vary or remove existing ones. This will allow the exemptions to be kept under review and for possible additional exemptions in the future. Regulations made under these subsections will be subject to the negative parliamentary procedure.
	Under subsection (3), the regulations may limit the scope of an exemption, for example by reference to the purposes for which an otherwise prohibited activity is carried out.
