EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

The report made proposals for the transfer of an area between Glasgow City Council and North Lanarkshire Council, and also made proposals for changes in electoral arrangements consequential to that change in local government areas. This Order gives effect to the proposals in that report.
