Section 88B of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (“the 1988 Act”) enables the Secretary of State, with the consent of the Treasury, to pay grants (referred to as special grants) to relevant authorities.

  • This order, made under the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994, makes provision for the new principal authorities established by that Act to be treated as relevant authorities within the meaning of section 88B of the 1988 Act, so that the Secretary of State may pay special grants under that section to the new principal authorities.
