The Local Government Area Changes (Amendment) Regulations 1978
Part IV of the Local Government Act 1972 makes provision for changes of local government areas, to be effected by orders. Section 67(1) and (2) of the Act of 1972 empowers the making of provision incidental, consequential, transitional or supplementary to the orders by regulations of general application. The Local Government Area Changes Regulations 1976 contained such provision, which also extended to the orders made under the provisions of Schedule 10 to the Act of 1972 for the initial review of the communities in Wales. These Regulations make further provision, and amend some of the provisions of the 1976 Regulations.
