(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Combined Probation Areas Order 1986 so as to change the number of justices appointed to the Derbyshire Probation Committee. The petty sessions areas of Chesterfield, Derby and South Derbyshire, and East Derbyshire are each to appoint fewer members to the Committee. The Order further provides that the petty sessions areas of Glossop, High Peak and West Derbyshire will form one group which will also appoint fewer members to the Committee than were formerly appointed by the petty sessions areas comprising the group. The overall number of justices in the Committee will reduce from twenty-one to thirteen.
