Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order provides that for the purposes of section 1 of the Industrial Development Act 1982 (the 1982 Act) and section 1 of the Derelict Land Act 1982, and as from 1st August 1993 the areas described in Schedule 1 will be development areas, and the areas described in Schedule 2 will be intermediate areas. The Order revokes all earlier Assisted Areas Orders (article 3). Areas described in the Schedules are as they existed on the relevant dates given in article 2(2) of the Order.

The Order designates development areas and intermediate areas (article 4) and provides a date for the new designations coming into effect (article 5).

Description of the new areas is largely by reference to travel to work areas (areas mentioned in section 1(4) of the 1982 Act as inserted by section 4 of the Co-operative Development Agency and Industrial Development Act 1984) or wards within such areas. Travel to work areas are areas by reference to which the Secretary of State publishes unemployment statistics, and are listed in heavy type in Appendix 4 to Occasional Supplement No. 3 to the Employment Gazette published by the Department of Employment (Volume 92 No. 9 of September 1984). Enquiries should be sent to the Department of Employment, SSD/B3 Branch, Caxton House, Tothill Street, London, SW1H 9NF.

Where the new areas are described not solely by travel to work areas they are described by reference to wards within travel to work areas. Wards in the Birmingham, Dorchester and Weymouth, Heathrow, London, Manchester and Wirral and Chester travel to work areas of England are described by reference to Electoral Wards. Information as to the boundaries of Electoral Wards is available from the Office of Population, Census and Surveys, Segensworth Road, Titchfield, Hants, PO15 5RR.

Wards in the Blaenau Gwent and Abergavenny, Cardiff, Newport, Pontypridd and Rhondda, Shotton Flint and Rhyl, and Wrexham travel to work areas are described by reference to District Electoral Wards and are based on the 1981 District Electoral Wards that were used for the 1981 Census. Information as to the boundaries of District Electoral Wards is available from the Office of Population, Census and Surveys at the address given above.

As respects Scotland, information as to the geographical extent of the travel to work areas in question is available from the Industry Department for Scotland at Alhambra House, 45 Waterloo Street, Glasgow, G2 6AT; as respects Wales, from the Welsh Office Industry Department at Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF1 3NQ; and as respects the region of England for which it is responsible, from the appropriate Regional Office of the Department of Trade and Industry.
