## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
With a view to securing the central rating en bloc of certain hereditaments, regulations may be made under section 53(1) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 which designate a person and prescribe in relation to that person one or more descriptions of non-domestic hereditament.
The principal Regulations made under this power are the Central Rating Lists (England) Regulations 2000 S.I. 2000/525 which have effect in relation to the central rating list for England compiled on 1 April 2000. These Regulations amend the principal Regulations:
(a) by designating a group of gas transporting companies and securing that the prescribed premises each of them uses for the purposes of acting as a public gas transporter are rated as a single hereditament; and
(b) by substituting Ineos Chlor Limited for Imperial Chemical Industries plc.
