Article 2 of the present Order amends the principal Order to substitute the date of 31st May 2000 for that of 31st May 1999. This is in consequence of the further exemption in Wales for Welsh authorities from the competitive tendering requirements under Part I of the Local Government Act 1988 (competition) made by the Local Government Act 1988 (Defined Activities) (Exemptions) (Wales) (Amendment) Order 1998 (S.I.1998/2188).
Article 3 makes a consequential revocation of the Local Government Act 1988 (Direct Service Organisations) (Accounts etc.) (Extension) (Wales) (Amendment) Order 1997 (S.I.1997/1702).
