Implementation of changes

Section 13: Implementation orders: further provision

68. This section allows an order under section 7 or 10 to also make any other incidental, consequential, transitional or supplementary provision. Examples of these are set out in section 15.

69. Subsection (3) provides that incidental, consequential, transitional or supplementary provision included in an order may relate either to provisions in that order or to provisions of a previous order under section 7 or 10. This means for example that the Secretary of State may establish a new authority and appoint councillors to it to make decisions during the shadow period of that authority and in a separate order make provision for the first election of councillors to that authority.

70. Subsection (4) establishes that under section 11(4)(g), (the exercise of the Secretary of State’s power to alter police areas) he must not divide a single tier county, or district, or London borough between two or more police areas.
