Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order, which comes into force on 1st April 1993, amends the Redundancy Payments (Local Government) (Modification) Order 1983 as amended by the Redundancy Payments (Local Government) (Modification) (Amendment) Order 1985, the Redundancy Payments (Local Government) (Modification) (Amendment) Order 1988, the Redundancy Payments (Local Government) (Modification) (Amendment) Order 1989, the Redundancy Payments (Local Government) (Modification) (Amendment) Order 1990, the Education (Reorganisation in Inner London) (Redundancy Payments) (Amendment) Order 1990 and the Redundancy Payments (Local Government) (Modification) (Amendment) Order 1991.

This Order adds to the list of employers to whose employees the 1983 Order as amended applies.
