  "long_title": "Part 1 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 (the “2007 Act”) provides for the establishment of a single tier of local government for areas in England. There is a single tier of local government for an area if there is either a county council and no district councils for that area, or a district council and no county council for that area (section 1(2) of the 2007 Act). Where the Secretary of State has received a proposal or a recommendation that there should be a single tier of local government for an area, he may make an order to implement the proposal or recommendation with or without modification. These Regulations make incidental, consequential, transitional and supplementary provision of general application in relation to the exercise of functions by local authorities during the transitional period (defined in regulation 2) for the purposes of, and in consequence of, orders made by the Secretary of State under section 7 of the 2007 Act. Section 14(3) of the 2007 Act provides for these Regulations to have effect subject to any provision included in such an order.",
