  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order amends Part III of the London County Council (General Powers) Act 1894 headed “Explosives at Ferries – Enforcement of Byelaws” so that in relation to the Woolwich Ferry, which was vested in him by the Woolwich Ferry Order 1986, it is the Secretary of State who may authorise in writing persons to search vehicles and packages for explosives and other dangerous goods. Other references in that Part to officers authorised by the Council (ie the Greater London Council) are amended so as to refer to persons authorised by the Secretary of State.\nThe Schedule to the Woolwich Ferry Order 1986 sets out certain modifications to sections 236 to 238 of the Local Government Act 1972. The modification to section 236(8) of that Act is clarified in article 4 of this Order and the provisions originally effecting that modification in the Schedule to the 1986 Order are deleted.",
