  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nRegulation 5 of the Local Government Changes for England (Staff) Regulations 1995 (“the principal Regulations”) provides that staff who are not transferred either by staff transfer order made under the Local Government Act 1992, or in accordance with the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981, and whose employment would have continued but for the winding up and abolition of the employing authority are entitled to treat themselves for the purposes of Part VI of the Employment Protection (Consolidation) Act 1978 and any regulations made under section 24 of the Superannuation Act 1972 as having been dismissed on grounds of redundancy.\nThese Regulations amend regulation 5 of the principal Regulations. First they extend the scope of regulation 5 to cover not just those authorities which are being wound up and dissolved by virtue of an order under section 17 of the Local Government Act 1992 but also those authorities who are subject to other structural or boundary changes or both. Second, they provide that regulation 5 will not apply to an employee who receives an offer for the renewal of his contract of employment or his re-engagement under a new contract of employment with a local government employer as defined for the purposes of the Redundancy Payments (Local Government) Modifications Order 1983 (as amended).",
