Article 3(1) amends article 3 (exemption for work carried out under certain works contracts) of that Order so as to extend the de minimis threshold to fire authorities constituted by combination schemes (“combined fire authorities”) in both England and Wales. Article 3(2), which applies to defined authorities in England only, amends article 4 (works contracts: local government reorganisation) of that Order so as to add a further implementation date of 1st April 2000 for county councils reorganising on 1st April 1998.",
