George Kynoch

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

24th July 1995

Under Part 1 of the Local Government Act 1988 ("the 1988 Act"), work falling within certain defined activities may (as provided in Regulations made by the Secretary of State under section 6(3) of the 1988 Act) be carried out by defined authorities after a specified date only if it has been put out to tender.

Article 3 of the Local Government Act 1988 (Competition) (Defined Activities) Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/1915) amended the defined activity of cleaning of buildings in the 1988 Act by removing the exemption contained in paragraph 2(2)(b) of Schedule 1 to that Act for work consisting of the cleaning of police buildings, except (in Scotland) buildings used by the Scottish Crime Squad. The Local Government Act 1988 (Defined Activities) (Competition) (Scotland) Regulations 1988 (S.I. 1988/1413) already provide a date under section 6(3) of the 1988 Act in relation to the cleaning of buildings in general. The purpose of these amendment Regulations is to make it clear that those 1988 Regulations do not extend to the cleaning of police buildings.
