This Order amends the Public Airport Companies (Capital Finance) Order 1990. Other than minor drafting amendments the change made is to exclude from those liabilities that would otherwise be treated as liabilities of a controlling authority for the purposes of the application of Part IV of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 provision made for pensions and similar obligations or for taxation.
