511.The functions relating to fire services and fire and civil defence authorities are set out in Schedule 11 to the Local Government Act 1985. That Schedule provides that references to a fire authority in the Fire Services Acts 1947 to 1959 and any other legislation mean, as far as Greater London is concerned, the LFCDA. Section 329 replaces the reference in that Schedule to the LFCDA being the fire authority for Greater London with a reference to the LFEPA.
