(This note is not part of the Order)
Article 14 of the Local Authorities (Companies) Order 1995 ("the 1995 Order") requires an authority to have available an amount of credit cover for the liabilities of companies which, for the purposes of Part IV of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, are treated as companies regulated by the authority. Article 15(1) modifies Part IV by permitting an authority to treat a basic credit approval as increased by the amount by which its regulated companies reduce their liabilities. This Order amends both article 14(2) and 15(1) of the 1995 Order to make it clear that those articles do not apply the whole of Part IV to such companies.
