# The Relevant Population (England) Regulations 1990, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of these Regulations)
Section 69 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (“the 1988 Act”) requires precepting authorities to secure that such of their expenses as are to be met by precepts are borne by the appropriate charging authority to whose area or part of whose area the expenses relate, or by all such charging authorities (if more than one), in proportion. The proportions are to be determined by reference to the relevant populations of such areas or parts of such areas to which the expenses relate.
Paragraph 6(2) of Schedule 12A to the 1988 Act (inserted by paragraph 74 of Schedule 5 to the Local Government and Housing Act 1989) requires the Secretary of State to make regulations containing rules for calculating for chargeable years the relevant population of any part of a charging authority’s area where this needs to be found for the purposes of section 69. The rules are set out in the Schedule to these Regulations, which apply to England only. The basic rule is contained in paragraph 1 of the Schedule. Paragraphs 2 and 3 contain special rules for determining the relevant population of areas affected by boundary changes and areas lying partly within and partly without the Metropolitan Police District.
