    1.    This Order may be cited as the Scottish Electricity Boards (Dissolution) Order 1993 and shall come into force on 10th December 1993.

    2.    The North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board and the South of Scotland Electricity Board shall be dissolved on the day on which this Order comes into force.

Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Scottish Office
St Andrew's House, Edinburgh

10th November 1993

This Order dissolves the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board and the South of Scotland Electricity Board. The property, rights and liabilities of both Boards were transferred to nominated successor companies (see S.I. 1989/2448) on 31st March 1990 under section 67 of the Electricity Act 1989. Section 84 of that Act provides for the Boards to continue in existence after the transfer date and Schedule 17 to the Act provides for certain duties to be carried out as necessary by the Boards. Those duties, so far as necessary and applying to the two Scottish Electricity Boards, have been discharged.
