This order brings Part X of the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980 into force in certain areas of Wales. The Schedule to this order specifies the district councils in whose areas Part X of the Act comes into operation and the order specifies the date from which it operates in those areas. Part X provides for registers to be kept of land owned by public bodies, being land which, in the opinion of the Secretary of State, is not being used or not being sufficiently used for the performance of a public body's functions or of carrying on their undertaking. Part X also provides that the Secretary of State may direct a public body who own land on a register to take steps to dispose of it.
