(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order varies the constitution of the local fisheries committee for the Sussex Sea Fisheries District (originally constituted in 1893 by order of the Board of Trade under the Sea Fisheries Regulation Act 1888 (c. 54)) to take account of the changes made to the structure of local government in England under the Local Government Act 1992 (c. 19) and, in particular, the East Sussex (Boroughs of Brighton and Hove) (Structural Change) Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/1770). Since the number and size of the constituent councils has altered, the number of representatives from each council and their proportionate contributions to the expenses of the committee have been revised (article 2 and Schedule).
1966 c. 38, amended by the Local Government Act 1985 (c. 51) section 16 and Schedule 8, paragraph 19; see section 20(1) for the definition of “the Minister”. References in the 1966 Act to county councils and metropolitan district councils should be read with regulation 5, paragraphs (6) and (7) of the Local Government Changes for England Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/867) to which the only relevant amending instrument is S.I. 1996/611; for the structural changes made in the area covered by the Sussex Sea Fisheries District, see S.I. 1995/1770.
