Commentary Part 5: the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority Section 25: Membership
60.Subsections (1) and (2) amend paragraph 1 of Schedule 28 to the GLA Act 1999. These changes reduce by one in each case the number of Assembly and London borough council members on the LFEPA and enable the Mayor to appoint on his own nomination two members (Mayoral representatives) to that authority. The total number of members of LFEPA remains at 17.
61.Subsection (4) inserts a new provision in paragraph 8 of Schedule 28 to require the Mayor to fill any vacancy caused by a Mayoral representative ceasing to be a member of LFEPA.
