This Order re-enacts, with amendments, the Local Government Reorganisation (Capital Money) (Greater London) Order 1989.

The Order is primarily concerned with the distribution of capital receipts by the London Residuary Body consequent upon the abolition of the Greater London Council to charging authorities in Greater London (the Common Council of the City of London and the London borough councils).

Article 2 of the Order defines terms used in the Order. In particular, “capital money” is defined for the purposes of section 77 of the Local Government Act 1985 and the Order.

Article 3 amends the 1989 Order with effect from 30th March 1990. The effect of the amendment is to require the Residuary Body to retain in respect of the financial year ending 31st March 1990 money which it receives from the disposal of property, which it holds as trustee of a charitable trust or which is referable to the running of its operation for central purchasing (Greater London Supplies).

Article 4 requires the Residuary Body to set aside from its revenue balances the sum of £20 million, which is designated as capital money in article 2(2)(c) of the Order.

Article 5 provides for the distribution of capital money to the charging authorities in accordance with the percentages specified inthe Schedule. For the financial year 1990/91 only, the Residuary Body is required to retain £35 million of capital money.

Article 6 requires the Residuary Body to make certain notifications about payments.

Article 7 revokes the 1989 Order with effect from 1st April 1990 subject to certain limited savings.

1985 c. 51; section 77 was amended by the Local Government Finance (Capital Money) (Consequential Amendments) Order 1990 (S.I. 1990/268). 1989 c. 42 S.I. 1989/255
