Explanatory note

The Urban Regeneration Agency (London Development Agency) Transfer Scheme 2000, among other matters, transferred to the London Development Agency certain land belonging to the Urban Regeneration Agency. This Order modifies the Scheme by providing that the transferred land shall be deemed to have been vested in the London Development Agency under the Regional Development Agencies Act 1998. The effect of the modification is that the authority conferred by Schedule 6 to that Act and other provisions in that Schedule shall have effect in relation to the transferred land.

This Order provides that the Scheme shall be deemed to have come into force (in 2000) with the modification made by this Order. Section 413 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 confers authority for the retrospective effect of this provision.

The Urban Regeneration Agency (London Development Agency) Transfer Scheme 2000 was made on 22nd June 2000 and was approved by the Secretary of State on 27th June 2000.
