The specified date in relation to non-metropolitan counties in England and all counties in Wales was postponed to 31st December 1986 by the Non-metropolitan and Welsh Counties (Local Statutory Provisions) Order 1983 (S.I. 1983/619).

This order further postpones the specified date in relation to the local government areas mentioned in article 2(2). Relevant provisions in those areas will continue in force until 31st December 1987 unless otherwise repealed.
