The Local Government Changes for England (Payments to Designated Authorities) (Minimum Revenue Provision) Regulations 1995
These Regulations apply in cases where a local authority affected by a reorganisation under Part II of the Local Government Act 1992 is a “designated authority” for the purposes of Part III of the Local Government Changes for England (Property Transfer and Transitional Payments) Regulations 1995 (“the Property Transfer Regulations”). Such an authority may be one of two or more “successor authorities” in relation to an “abolished authority” or it may be “the relinquishing authority in relation to a transferred area”. In relation to such an authority, the other “successor authorities” or, as the case may be, “the acquiring authority” in relation to that transferred area are “participant authorities”. All these expressions and the other expressions used in the Regulations are defined in regulation 2.
