Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)
Part I of the Local Government Act 1992 provides, amongst other things, for the publication by certain bodies of information as to standards of performance. Article 3 of this Order modifies the application of sections 1 to 3 of that Act by treating the Residuary Body for Wales as a body to which those sections do not apply.
Article 4 of the Order has effect to treat the Residuary Body as a local authority for the purposes of section 842A of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.
Article 5 of the Order applies certain provisions of the Local Authorities (Capital Finance) Regulations 1990 to the Residuary Body.
