FIRE SERVICES

The North Wales Fire Services (Combination Scheme) Order 1995

Whereas it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient in the interests of efficiency that a combination scheme should be made for the areas of the new principal councils referred to in paragraph 3 of the scheme set out in the Schedule hereto ("the scheme"), being new principal areas within the meaning of section 23 of the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994^[1] ("the 1994 Act"), and no scheme satisfactory to him has been submitted to him by those councils;

And whereas the proposed scheme relates only to new principal areas;

And whereas notice of the general nature of the scheme has been given under section 6(2) of the Fire Services Act 1947^[2] ("the 1947 Act") to the existing authorities whose areas lie wholly or partly within the proposed combined area, and to each of the new principal councils concerned;

And whereas the Secretary of State has considered the representations made to him with respect to the scheme before the end of the period specified in such notice;

And whereas a draft of the Order containing the draft scheme has been laid before Parliament for a period of forty days pursuant to section 6 of the Statutory Instruments Act 1946^[3], and that period has expired without either House resolving that the Order be not made;

Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred upon him by section 23 of the 1994 Act, sections 6 and 8 of the 1947 Act, section 7(2) of the Fire Services Act 1959^[4] and section 25(2) of the Welsh Language Act 1993^[5], the Secretary of State hereby makes the following Order:

Citation and commencement
    1.    This Order may be cited as the North Wales Fire Services (Combination Scheme) Order 1995 and shall come into force on the day after the day on which it is made.
