Explanatory note

Article 2 of this Order brings into force on 3rd July 2000 the provisions of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 which relate to the Metropolitan Police Authority and members of the metropolitan police force in so far as they are not already in force. It also brings into force various consequential amendments and repeals subject to the transitional provisions set out in the Schedule to the Order. Where amendments and repeals relate to the functions of the Receiver for the Metropolitan Police District, the provisions are commenced only in relation to his functions for police purposes.

Article 3 amends the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (Commencement No. 4 and Adaptation) Order 2000 so that section 287(2) which amends the definition of “London authority” in Part II (traffic in London) of the Road Traffic Act 1991, does not come into force on 3rd July 2000 as provided in that Order.
