Explanatory note

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This order makes further provision in consequence of the abolition, by the Local Government Act 1985, of the Greater London Council and the metropolitan county councils.

Article 2 of this order ensures that the Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960 (which requires meetings of the bodies to which it applies to be open to the public, notice of the time and place of any meeting to be given and copies of the agenda to be supplied) is not to be construed as applying to residuary bodies by virtue of paragraph 1(h) of the Schedule (bodies having power to levy a rate within the meaning of the Public Works Loans Act 1875, and not specifically mentioned elsewhere in the Schedule).

The 1960 Act is expressly applied by the Local Government Act 1985 to the other bodies created by that Act.
