EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 224 of the Localism Act 2011 amended the Greater London Authority Act 1999 by inserting section 34A, which requires the Greater London Authority, if carrying on specified activities for a commercial purpose, to do so through a taxable body. This Order specifies activities for the purposes of that section.

An impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
