This Order amends the Combined Probation Areas Order 1986 to take account of the re-organisation of five of the petty sessions areas within the Lancashire Probation Area into two new petty sessions areas effected by the Petty Sessional Divisions (Lancashire) Order 1994 (S. I.1994/946), the relevant provisions of which come into force on 1st April 1994.

The Order also amends the Combined Probation Areas Order 1986 so as to change the number of justices appointed to the Lancashire Probation Committee by seven of the petty sessions areas-Blackpool, Hyndburn, Lancaster, Ormskirk, Preston, South Ribble and Wyre will each appoint two justices rather than three.
