Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Schedule 4 to the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1975 provides for the remuneration of, and other expenses incurred by, the Commissioner for Local Administration in Scotland and his officers being met by “the body designated for Scotland”. The Scottish Ministers have designated Audit Scotland as that body.

These Regulations, in relation to the financial year 2000 2001 and each subsequent financial year, re enact previous Regulations to reflect that designation and to update the references to regional and islands councils.

The Commissioner for Local Administration in Scotland (Expenses) Regulations 1989 are revoked.
