The Local Government Agency Arrangements (Staff Transfer and Protection) Order 1976
Under section 101 of the Local Government Act 1972 arrangements may be made by one authority for the discharge of their functions by another authority. Under that provision the arrangements may be extended, restricted or ended, and similar arrangements made under section 110 of the Act of 1972 or section 15 of the Water Act 1973 may be similarly dealt with. This Order makes provision for the transfer of persons employed in the discharge of the functions covered by the arrangements and for the protection of the interests of those persons.
