(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order applies to Aylesbury Vale, Daventry, Hambleton, Huntingdonshire, Mid Bedfordshire, North Dorset, and South Cambridgeshire district councils and Runnymede borough council. It states the amount which the amount calculated by each of those authorities as its budget requirement for the financial year beginning in 2005 is not to exceed.
A regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as the Secretary of State cannot make assumptions as to which services and activities may be affected when authorities calculate lower budget requirements.
