The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by section 84(4) of the Electricity Act 1989^[1] and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf, after consultation with each of the Area Boards and their respective successor companies and being satisfied that nothing further remains to be done by any of the Area Boards (whether under Schedule 17 to that Act or otherwise), hereby makes the following Order:

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

    2.    Each of the Area Boards shall be dissolved on the day on which this Order comes into force.

11th November 1993

This Order dissolves the Area Boards (that is the Boards established under section 1 of the Electricity Act 1947 (10 & 11 Geo.6 c.54)). The property, rights and liabilities of those Boards were transferred to nominated successor companies (see S.I. 1990/224) on 31st March 1990 under section 65 of the Electricity Act 1989. Section 84 of that Act provides for the Area 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 Area Boards. Those duties, so far as necessary and as applying to the Area Boards, have been discharged.
