Section 97(4) of the Local Government Act 1972 provides that a member of a local authority does not have to declare an interest for the purposes of section 94 of the 1972 Act in any contract, proposed contract or other matter, which he has as a ratepayer or inhabitant of the area or as an ordinary consumer of water.

This Order amends section 97(4) to provide in addition that a member need not declare an interest for the purposes of section 94 where the interest arises from liability under the Local Government Finance Act 1988 to pay any community charge.

The Order also repeals section 13 of the Rates Act 1984 (duty to consult industrial and commercial ratepayers).
