Part 2: Subsidy control requirements Chapter 2: Prohibitions and other requirements Section 18: Relocation of activities
This section prohibits subsidies that explicitly require enterprises to relocate economic activities from one part of the UK to another, where this relocation would not have occurred in the absence of the subsidy.
	Subsection (1) states that a subsidy may not be given on condition of an enterprise relocating any aspect of economic activities and may not be given if that relocation would not occur without said subsidy.
	Subsection (2) clarifies, for the purpose of subsection (1), that an enterprise relocates its existing economic activities where it is conducting activities in an area of the UK before the subsidy is given, halts those activities after the subsidy is given, and continues them in another area of the UK.
	Subsection (3) defines economic activities.
	Subsection (4) specifies an exemption to the relocation prohibition by reference to three conditions in subsection (5), (6) and (7). The three conditions ensure that a public authority can only give a relocation subsidy that has the effect of reducing social or economic disadvantage in both the area to which the relocation takes place and within the UK generally, while also changing the economic behaviour of the beneficiary
