Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Paragraph (1) of the Schedule to the Imperial War Museum Act 1920 specifies in a Table the authorities entitled to appoint members of the Board of Trustees of the Imperial War Museum and the number of members to be appointed by each. This Order varies the Table set out in that paragraph. It removes the Treasury as appointing authority for nine trustees and the Secretary of State as appointing authority for one trustee and confers the power to appoint ten trustees on the Prime Minister.
