Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order specifies those local education authority maintained institutions which appear to the Secretary of State to satisfy the criteria set out in section 121(2) of the Education Reform Act 1988. The Southampton Institute of Higher Education is omitted from the list of specified institutions. The Education Reform Act 1988 (Commencement No.2) Order 1988 (S.I. 1988/1794) excludes the same institution when bringing into force section 121 of that Act. By virtue of section 121(2), paragraph 1 of Schedule 7 to that Act and the Education Reform Act 1988 (Commencement No.2) Order 1988 bodies corporate by the names of those specified institutions are established on 21st November 1988 for the purpose of conducting those institutions as from the transfer date. 1st April 1989 is specified as the transfer date, defined in section 123(2) of the 1988 Act as the date for transfer of local education authority property, rights and liabilities to those corporations. The Order also specifies the local authority or authorities able to nominate local authority nominees to become members of each such corporation.
