LOCAL GOVERNMENT, ENGLAND AND WALES

The Local Government Act 1988 (Defined Activities) (Exemptions) (England) Order 1988 and the Local Government Act 1988 (Defined Activities) (Exemptions) (Wales) Order 1988 (“the 1988 Orders”) exempted a number of manual services carried out by local authorities in England and Wales in any financial year from the competition requirements of Part I of the Local Government Act 1988 so long as, in respect of each individual service, the cost to the authority of the service in the preceding financial year did not exceed £100,000. This Order raises that limit to £150,000.
