Abstract

In 1971 a consultative document covering Wales and a White Paper — ‘Local Government in England: Government Proposals for Reorganisation’ — created the base from which was enacted in 1972 the Local Government Act. The 1972 legislation swept away an out-dated system of local authorities and created new structures. The Act allocated functions among these new authorities and modified the administration within the local authorities. While it did not materially affect the working of London government, since this had been modified by the London Government Act 1963, it replaced the Local Government Act 1933 and incorporated the provisions of the 1963 Act affecting the constitution of authorities in Greater London.
