Article 11

Subject to the provisions of Article 15 of this Order, any right or liability vested in or attaching to the council of a dissolved county or county borough under section 1(4) of the Children Act 1948 immediately before 1st April 1965 in respect of a person who is or was in the care of another local authority shall, on 1st April 1965, be transferred to and vested in or attached to the successor authority in whose area the place of ordinary residence of the person, as determined for the purposes of the said subsection, is on 1st April 1965 situate.

Where any right or liability is, immediately before 1st April 1965, vested in or attached to the council of an altered county under the said section 1(4) in respect of a person who is or was in the care of another local authority and whose place of ordinary residence, as so determined, is on 1st April 1965 situate in the area of a successor authority, the council shall, unless they decide otherwise, notify before 1st June 1965 that successor authority that that right or liability is vested in or attached to them.

Any power which would have been exercisable by the council of a dissolved county or county borough, had the London Government Act 1963 not been enacted, to recover expenses under the said section 1(4)(b) from another local authority, in respect of a person who had been in their care but is not a person to whom Article 1 or 7(1) of this Order applies, shall after 1st April 1965 be exercisable by a successor authority incurring expenses to which the said section 1(4)(b) applies.
