Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

On 1st April 1994 the new principal councils established under the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994 take over the responsibility for the administration of Welsh local government from the old principal councils which cease to exist. This Order makes provision in respect of rent officers in Wales as a result of that reorganisation.

The Order gives effect to agreed arrangements for the transfer of rent officers in Wales. It treats rent officers as having been duly appointed to office on or after 1st April 1996 in those cases where they have not been so appointed (article 3) and preserves continuity in respect of their terms and conditions of appointment (article 4).
