(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order confirms the approval of the Secretary of State to the Northern Police (Amalgamation) Amendment (No.2) Scheme 1990.
The scheme approved by the Order amends the provisions of the Northern Police (Amalgamation) Scheme 1975, as amended, by providing for the apportionment of costs of the police service between Highland Regional Council and the 3 Islands Councils according to the actual costs of the service within the area of each constituent authority rather than in proportion to their total population as at present.
1967 c. 77; section 21A was inserted by Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (c. 65), section 146(7).
Sections 19 and 21 of the 1967 Act were applied by section 21A(4) of that Act.
Substituted by the Northern Police (Amalgamation) Amendment Scheme 1982.
