At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the 26th day of July 1988. Present, The Queen’s Most Excellent Majesty in Council

Her Majesty, by virtue of and in exercise of the powers conferred on Her by section 24(9) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1975[^f00001], is pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, as follows:—

1

(1) This Order may be cited as the Local Government Administration (Matters Subject to Investigation) (Scotland) Order 1988 and shall come into force on 24th August 1988.

(2) In this Order—

“the Act” means the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1975; and

“joint police committee” means any joint police committee constituted by an amalgamation scheme made or approved under the Police (Scotland) Act 1967[^f00002].

2

There shall be excluded from paragraph 2 of Schedule 5 to the Act (matters not subject to investigation by the Commissioner for Local Administration in Scotland), action taken by an authority other than a police authority or a joint police committee in connection with the investigation or prevention of crime and, accordingly, for the words “any authority” in that paragraph there shall be substituted the words “any police authority or any joint police committee constituted by an amalgamation scheme made or approved under the Police (Scotland) Act 1967”.

Signed

G I de Deney — Clerk of the Privy Council

Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends Schedule 5 to the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1975 so that action taken in connection with the investigation or prevention of crime, hitherto totally excluded from investigation by the Commissioner for Local Administration in Scotland, is so excluded only if it is undertaken by a police authority or a joint police committee.
