EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order, which (subject to the approval of Parliament) comes into operation on 14th July 1980, terminates the payment of grants to local education authorities in respect of expenditure incurred in the removal of air-raid shelters and other defence works and repeals section 100(1)(a)(iii) of the Education Act 1944 (Article 2).
