This is a technical amendment that addresses an omission in the list of consequential provisions in Schedule 4 to the Bill that shall not apply in the case of the dissolution of county and city development boards. Schedule 4 is primarily designed to provide for transitional arrangements as between local authorities that are being dissolved, such as town councils, and their successors regarding matters such as transfer of assets, liabilities, staff, etc., and the continued effect of certain matters decided by the dissolved bodies. This amendment is for the insertion of paragraph 14(4) dealing with local authority housing to the list of excluded provisions that are already set out in section 34(4)(a), as this relates to an area in respect of which the development boards had no remit.
