HL Deb 02 February 2004 vol 656 cc18-20WS
Lord Filkin

On 28 January 2004 I made an order under Section 2(6) of the Taxes Management Act 1970 amalgamating a number of divisions in Greater London and in Hertfordshire with effect from 1 February 2004, as follows.

The Finsbury and Hornsey divisions shall be merged into a new division to be called the Finsbury and Hornsey division. The Gray's Inn and Lincoln's Inn divisions shall be merged into a new division to be called the Chancery Lane division. The Chelsea, St James Westminster and St George's Hanover Square divisions shall be merged into a new division to be called the Westminster division. The Hertford and Stevenage divisions shall be merged into a new division to be called the Hertford and Stevenage division.

All the amalgamations were made at the request of the General Commissioners in all the divisions with the aim of improving the organisational efficiency of the divisions concerned. I have placed a copy of the order amalgamating the divisions in the Libraries of both Houses.
