LONDON GOVERNMENT

The London Government Reorganisation (Staff Compensation) Order 1988

The Secretary of State, in exercise of his powers under section 101 of the Local Government Act 1985^[1] , and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf, hereby makes the following Order:—

    1.    This Order may be cited as the London Government Reorganisation (Staff Compensation) Order 1988 and shall come into force on 5th October 1988.

    2.    Without prejudice to any other power vested in it, the London Residuary Body may, where a claim in that behalf has been made before the date of coming into force of this Order, pay compensation to—
 (a) any person formerly employed by the Greater London Council who sustained an injury in the course of that employment, or
 (b) the widow, widower or child of any person who, in the course of such employment, died or sustained an injury resulting in death,
provided that the power conferred by this article may only be exercised in accordance with principles applied by the Greater London Council in the exercise of the power conferred on it by section 75 of the London Government Act 1963^[2] .

Nicholas Ridley

Secretary of State for the Environment

7th September 1988

The Greater London Council had power, under section 75 of the London Government Act 1963, to pay compensation to its officers or their dependants in respect of injuries sustained at work. This Order enables the London Residuary Body to make payments in respect of similar claims made before 5th October 1988, to the extent that it is not already able to do so under existing powers. In exercising the new power the Residuary Body is required to apply the same principles as were applied by the abolished council when considering claims under section 75.
