# The Lancashire (Police Area and Authority) Order 1997, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes provision consequential on the structural change effected by the Lancashire (Boroughs of Blackburn and Blackpool) (Structural Change) Order 1996 (S.I. 1996/1868). That Order removed the Boroughs of Blackburn (now called Blackburn with Darwen) and Blackpool from the County of Lancashire.
Article 2 of this Order makes transitional provision relating to the proceedings of the Lancashire police authority. Article 3 amends the description of the Lancashire police area in Schedule 1 to the Police Act 1996 to take account of the structural change.
