10.—(1) This regulation is subject to regulations 12 and 13.

(2) If the majority of the votes cast in a referendum other than a further referendum are “yes” votes, the result of the referendum is—

(a)for the purposes of section 27(7), to approve the local authority's proposals under section 25;

(b)for the purposes of regulation 23 (action where referendum proposals approved) of the Petitions and Directions Regulations or, as the case may be, the comparable provisions of any other regulations or order made under any provision of Part II of the 2000 Act, to approve the proposals that were the subject of the referendum.

(3) If the majority of the votes cast in a referendum other than a further referendum are “no” votes, the result of the referendum is—

(a)for the purposes of section 27(8), to reject the local authority's proposals under section 25;

(b)for the purposes of regulation 24 (action where referendum proposals rejected) of the Petitions and Directions Regulations or, as the case may be, the comparable provisions of any other regulations or order made under any provision of Part II of the 2000 Act, to reject the proposals that were the subject of the referendum.

(4) If the majority of the votes cast in a further referendum are “yes” votes, the result of the referendum is to approve the continuation of the local authority's existing executive arrangements or their existing alternative arrangements (as the case may be).

(5) If the majority of the votes cast in a further referendum are “no” votes, the result of the referendum is to reject the continuation of the local authority's existing executive arrangements or their existing alternative arrangements (as the case may be).

(6) In a case to which paragraph (5) applies, section 27(8) to (12) is then to apply as if the result of the further referendum was the rejection of the local authority's proposals under section 25, but subject—

(a)in section 27(8)(b), to the insertion after “outline fall-back proposals” of “that were proposed at the time of the referendum”,
