(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Sections 78 and 79 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provide for revenue support grant to be payable to any body which provides services for local authorities and which is specified by the Secretary of State in regulations.

These Regulations amend regulation 3 of the Revenue Support Grant (Specified Bodies) Regulations 1992 by amending the entry for the Local Authorities Co-ordinating Body on Food and Trading Standards to read the Local Authorities Co-ordinators of Regulatory Services. This amendment was required due to a change of name of the body following a change to its co-ordination role on behalf of local authorities.
