# The Grants to Voluntary Organisations (Specified Date) Order 1992, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 48 of the Local Government Act 1985 enables schemes to be made in relation to Greater London and the metropolitan counties for the making of grants to voluntary organisations. In each such area, one constituent council is designated in the scheme for the purpose of making the grants, with the other councils contributing financially.
In Greater London, the constituent councils are the councils of the London boroughs and the Common Council of the City. By this Order, it is provided that where a scheme which relates to Greater London requires expenditure under the scheme to be approved by some or all of the constituent councils, but the total expenditure in relation to a financial year beginning on or after 1st April 1993 is not so approved before 1st February immediately preceding that financial year, the constituent councils shall be deemed to have given their approval to the amount approved, or deemed to have been approved, for the preceding financial year.
