The Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004 (“the 2004 Act”) amended section 2 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 (c.42) (“the 1989 Act”), which sets out categories of local authority employees who are to be regarded as holding politically restricted posts.
Such employees are prevented, by section 1 of the 1989 Act, from holding various elective offices or from standing for election to those offices. Such employees are also prevented from engaging in a range of political activities. The amendment made by the 2004 Act removed two categories of employees which were determined by a salary threshold.
This Order makes consequential provision to repeal parts of section 3 of the 1989 Act which remain in force in Scotland but have no continuing purpose as a result of the amendments made by the 2004 Act.
