(This note is not part of the Order)
The county of Derbyshire was divided into four coroners' districts by the Derby (Coroners' Districts) Order 1974. Two of these districts were amalgamated by the Derbyshire (Coroners' Districts (Amendment) Order 1979. This Order deals with the remaining two districts not covered by the 1979 Order.
This Order creates one new coroners' district, out of the existing coroners' district of High Peak and Scarsdale, to be named North Derbyshire. The area of that district is set out in the substitution to the Schedule to the 1974 Order and is the only district which is wholly within the county of Derbyshire.
S.I 1974/548 as amended by The Derbyshire (Coroners' Districts) (Amendment) Order 1979 S.I. 1979/535.
