The replacement provisions have effect only if they are approved by the Secretary of State and come into force on such date as he determines. This Order approves a proposal by The York Waterworks Company that a memorandum and articles of association should have effect in substitution for provisions contained in the York Water Acts and Orders 1846 to 1985 (article 2). It also provides that the date on which those provisions cease to have effect is 22nd June 1990 (article 3) and for the repeal of the superseded provisions and for consequential repeals (article 4). This Order is associated with the company’s proposal to convert to the status of a registered company under the Companies Act 1985. --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1990/1128 (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/york-waterworks-constitution-and-regulation-order-1990 Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
