(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order increases the number of members of the Devon and Cornwall, Greater Manchester and Dyfed Powys Police Authorities. These Authorities will be established under section 3 of the Police Act 1964 (as substituted by section 2 of the Police and Magistrates' Courts Act 1994) when that provision is brought into force.
By virtue of section 3A(1) of the 1964 Act (as inserted by section 3(1) of the 1994 Act) police authorities established under new section 3 of the 1964 Act will consist of seventeen members. This is subject to the power in section 3A(2) (which is exercised in this Order) to increase the number of members. In such a case, paragraph 1(2) of Schedule 1B to the 1964 Act (as inserted by Schedule 2 to the 1994 Act) determines the composition of the police authorities.
The provisions of the 1994 Act by which the new police authorities are established will be brought into force for the purposes of the appointment of members of those authorities and the discharge of certain functions before those provisions are brought into force for the purpose of the new police authorities taking over the functions of existing police authorities.
