(This note is not part of the Order)

Local authorities and development bodies which did not at any one time in the previous financial year employ more than 30 persons for the carrying out of construction or maintenance work are not subject to Part III of the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980. Such local authorities and development bodies were also exempt from the requirement to keep separate accounts for each of the descriptions of construction or maintenance work detailed in section 10(2) of the said Act.

This Order reduces to 15 the maximum number of persons on the basis of whose employment both exemptions are available.
