EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
The Local Government (Best Value Authorities) (Power to Trade) (England) Order 2004 ("the principal Order") authorises certain local authorities to trade in any of their ordinary functions subject to certain conditions. Under section 95(4) of the Local Government Act 2003 the power to trade must be exercised through a company. The principal Order was amended by S.I. 2004/2307 from 1st October 2004 to provide transitional arrangements in respect of certain fire and rescue authorities - allowing those authorities to continue trading in specified functions notwithstanding the repeal of the Fire Services Act 1947 by the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004.
This Order corrects an omission in S.I. 2004/2307 in relation to Essex Fire Authority. The effect of the correction is to allow that Authority to provide vehicle maintenance and repair services for commercial purposes until 30th September 2007.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business, voluntary bodies or public authorities.
