(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Sections 78 and 79 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provide for revenue support grant to be payable to any body which provides services for local authorities and which is specified by the Secretary of State in regulations.
These Regulations revoke and replace the Revenue Support Grant (Specified Bodies) Regulations 1992 and the instruments which amended those Regulations. In relation to any financial beginning on or after 1st April 2011, these Regulations specify the Improvement and Development Agency for Local Government as the sole body to which revenue support grant must be paid.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
