(This note is not part of the Order)

The Alderney (Transfer of Breakwater) Order 1950 transferred to the Secretary of State for the Home Department the property specified in the Schedule to the Order (the Alderney Breakwater and associated property). This Order provides for the transfer of that property, part (including the breakwater) to the States of Guernsey as appointees of the States of Alderney and the remainder to the States of Alderney, and revokes the Alderney (Transfer of Breakwater) Order 1950.

The Alderney (Transfer of Property etc.) Order 1950 transferred the greater part of Her Majesty’s property in Alderney to the States of Alderney but (by articles 5 and 6) reserved certain quarrying rights to Her Majesty’s Government. This Order provides for the transfer of those rights to the States of Guernsey as appointees of the States of Alderney and revokes articles 5 and 6 of the Alderney (Transfer of Property etc.) Order 1950.

The transfers for which this Order provides are deemed to have taken effect as from 1st April 1987 (retrospection is authorised by section 1(2) of the Alderney (Transfer of Property etc.) Act 1923).
