This Order is made under section 1 of the Regulatory Reform Act 2001. It reforms the law relating to the location of premises for the Museum of London, by removing the requirement under sections 4(1) and (2) of the Museum of London Act 1965 that such premises must be within the City of London, and instead requiring them to be within Greater London.
