This Order makes provision consequential on the structural change effected by the Kent (Borough of Gillingham and City of Rochester upon Medway) (Structural Change) Order 1996 (S.I. 1996/1876). That Order removed the Borough of Gillingham and the City of Rochester upon Medway from the County of Kent.

Article 2 of this Order makes transitional provision relating to the proceedings of the Kent police authority. Article 3 amends the description of the Kent police area in Schedule 1 to the Police Act 1996 to take account of the structural change.
