Explanatory note

This order makes further provision in consequence of the abolition, by the Local Government Act 1985, of the Greater London Council and the metropolitan county councils.

Article 2 amends the Local Government Finance Act 1982 so that a court order or auditor's certificate under section 19 or 20 of that Act which disqualifies a person for membership of a local authority also disqualifies him for membership of the Inner London Education Authority. Article 3 ensures that this does not extend to disqualification of any present member of the Authority before he first ceases to be such a member.

Article 4 confers the powers of the Greater London Council in respect of Park Lodge Farm on the Council of the London borough of Hillingdon, and makes consequential provisions.

Article 5 amends the Local Government Reorganisation (Property etc.) Order 1986 so that actions and legal proceedings may be continued and enforced against successors to any land transferred by that order.
