# The Reconstitution of the Langport District Drainage Board Order 1994, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order confirms with modifications a Scheme submitted by the National Rivers Authority for the reconstitution of the Langport District Drainage Board. That Board was formerly constituted by the Order of the Somersetshire Drainage Commissioners (dated 9th March 1881) made under the Somersetshire Drainage Act 1877 (40 & 41 Vict. c. xxxvi). The Scheme reduces the number of elected members of the Board from 15 to 10.
