Article 9 Urban programme grant

Subject to paragraph (2) below, where a regional or district council has immediately before the transfer date the right to payment of grant under section 1 of the Local Government Grants (Social Need) Act 1969^f1, that right shall transfer on that date to the council within the area of which is situated the urban area by reference to which the grant is payable.

Where an urban area such as is mentioned in paragraph (1) above is situated in the area of more than one council, those councils may agree as to which one of them is entitled to payment of the relevant grant and, in the absence of such agreement, that grant shall be payable to the council within the area of which the largest part of the urban area in question is situated.
