Article 3 Model code of conduct—authorities not operating executive arrangements

The Secretary of State hereby issues a model code as regards the conduct which is expected of members and co-opted members of authorities which are not operating executive arrangements and that code is set out in Schedule 2 to this Order.

For such authorities, all the provisions of the model code in Schedule 2 to this Order are mandatory.

Where an authority which is operating executive arrangements ceases to do so^f1, Schedule 2 to this Order shall have effect in relation to that authority as if it consisted of mandatory provisions of a model code of conduct issued in a subsequent order made under section 51(2) of the Local Government Act 2000 on the day on which the authority ceases to operate those arrangements.
