# The Local Authorities (Members' Allowances) (Amendment) Regulations 1994, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Local Authorities (Members' Allowances) Regulations 1991.
They increase the amounts by reference to which a ceiling is imposed in Part III of those Regulations in relation to schemes, under section 18 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, for the payment of basic, special responsibility and attendance allowances (regulation 2(6)). They also increase the amount of special responsibility allowance under such a scheme which a member may be paid in any year (regulation 2(2)).
The maximum amount of attendance allowance payable to parish and community councillors under the Local Government Act 1972 is also increased (regulation 2(4)), as is the maximum financial loss allowance payable both to those councillors and to non-elected members of local authorities (regulation 2(5)).
The amount payable by way of allowance under section 175 of that Act in respect of attendance at conferences and meetings by members of local authorities is also increased (regulation 2(3)).
All the amounts are increased by 2.1 per cent.
