Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Local Government Changes for England (Direct Labour and Service Organisations) Regulations 1994 (“the 1994 Regulations”) provide inter alia for the application of the competition requirements of the Local Government Act 1988 in relation to authorities subject to structural change under the Local Government Act 1992.

enlarging the description of authorities affected, to include any authority subject to a structural or boundary change resulting from the implementation of recommendations of the Local Government Commission made in pursuance of a direction given before 17th May 1995; and
providing for exemption, for a period calculated by reference to the 1994 Regulations, from the competition requirements of that Act in respect of functional housing management work carried out by a local authority affected by the implementation of such recommendations.
Regulations 3 and 5 correct cross-references in the 1994 Regulations and in the Local Government Act 1988 (Defined Activities) (Competition) (Supervision of Parking, Management of Vehicles and Security Work) (England) Regulations 1994.
