On 1st April 2000 (in this Order called “the appointed day”), in consequence of the coming into force of section 323 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999, the boundary of the metropolitan police district will be changed so as to exclude all parts of that district lying outside Greater London. Section 255 of that Act provides that on the appointed day the licensing of hackney carriages and private hire vehicles to operate in those areas will become the responsibility of the relevant district councils in accordance with the Town Police Clauses Act 1847 and the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976.
