Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The annual limit on the amount of expenditure which a local authority may incur for purposes not otherwise authorised is determined under section 137(4) of the Local Government Act 1972 by multiplying the sum appropriate to the authority by virtue of section 137(4AA) by the relevant population of the authority’s area.
For those purposes, these Regulations provide for the determination of the relevant population of the areas of the local authorities specified in the Table in regulation 2.
