Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Angus and City of Dundee Tourist Board Scheme Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/1880) (“the principal Order”) and the Angus and City of Dundee Tourist Board Scheme 1995 (“the scheme”) set out in the Schedule to the principal Order.
This Order substitutes for references in the principal Order and the scheme to the local government area of City of Dundee references to the local government area of Dundee City to reflect the change of name of that area on 29th June 1995 by resolution of The City of Dundee Council (in consequence now The Dundee City Council) under section 23 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (articles 2 and 3).
Paragraph 4(3)(b) of the scheme provides that there may be appointed to membership of the Board the council for any local government area lying within the area of the Board. This Order substitutes therefor in relation to each such council provision for the appointment of persons, not exceeding 5 in number, to be nominated by such council to be persons representative of the council on the Board (article 4(a)).
The Order also provides that—
(a)each member of the Board and of the controlling body shall have one vote (articles 4(b) and 5);
