(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order confirms the approval of the Secretary of State to the Northern Combined Fire Area Administration (Amendment) (No.3) Scheme 1990.

The scheme approved by the Order amends the provisions of the Northern Combined Fire Area Administration Scheme 1975, as amended, by providing for the apportionment of costs of the fire service between Highland Regional Council and the 3 Islands Councils according to the actual costs of the service within the area of each constituent authority rather than in proportion to their total population as at present.
