Section 84E of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides for revenue support grant to be payable to specified bodies. A specified body is any body which provides services for local authorities and is specified in regulations.
These Regulations amend the Revenue Support Grant (Specified Bodies) (Wales) Regulations 2000 by removing the Public Private Partnerships Programme Limited and Syniad from the list of specified bodies and adding the Welsh Local Government Association. The amendments have effect for the financial years beginning on or after 1 April 2006.
