Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes provision for the calculation of the upper limit on subscriptions to national institutions, public appeals etc. which may be made by Coventry City Council under section 97 of the West Midlands County Council Act 1980. The limit, previously calculated by reference to the product of a penny rate, is to be calculated by reference to the United Kingdom Index of Retail Prices (for all items), published each March in the Monthly Digest of Statistics for February by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office. The amendment is consequent upon the abolition of domestic rates by the Local Government Finance Act 1988.
