(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the National Park Authorities (England) Order 1996 (S.I. 1996/1243) so as to alter the number of members appointed to the National Park authorities for each of the National Parks in England other than Northumberland and the New Forest.
The total membership of the Peak District National Park Authority is reduced from 38 to 30, and that of each of the other authorities is reduced from 26 to 22. Changes are made, in the case of each authority, to the numbers of members appointed by the Secretary of State and by local authorities.
The opportunity is also taken to correct a reference in that Order, and a similar one in the New Forest National Park Authority (Establishment) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/421), to a provision in the Removal and Disposal of Vehicles Regulations 1986 (S.I. 1986/183).
A regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
