# The Local Government Reorganisation (Designated Councils) (Pensions) Order 1986, Note: Explanatory note


This order transfers to the designated district councils (instead of leaving with the appropriate residuary bodies) the responsibilities for certain pension and compensation matters of Tyne and Wear, West Midlands and West Yorkshire county councils which are abolished on 1st April 1986 by the Local Government Act 1985 (article 2). The order is made on the application of all the district councils for those counties. The designated district councils are those of South Tyneside, Wolverhampton and Bradford.
The costs which consequently fall on the designated councils are to be shared with the councils of the other districts in the county (article 3).
