Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
The Local Government (Wales) Act 1994 reorganises local government in Wales with effect from 1st April 1996. From that date new principal councils established under the 1994 Act take over the administration of Welsh local government from the old principal councils. Section 50 of the 1994 Act makes general provision for the transfer of Welsh Church Act funds, held by old county councils, which are required to be administered in accordance with schemes made under section 19 of the Welsh Church Act 1914. For the purpose of the operation of section 50, this order designates the new councils who are to hold those funds, and specifies the manner in which the funds are to be allocated amongst councils so designated. The Order also provides that any rights and liabilities in respect of Welsh Church Act funds are to transfer to the new councils who hold those funds.
