§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs (Lord Filkin)On 15 July 2004 I made an order under Section 2(6) of the Taxes Management Act 1970 amalgamating a number of divisions in the Bristol area, Cornwall and Yorkshire with effect from 1 September 2004 and two divisions in West Glamorgan with effect from 1 January 2005, as follows:
- Bristol, Bedminster and Wrington divisions are merged into Bristol, Bedminster and Wrington division;
- Penzance, Redruth, Truro and West Kerrier divisions are merged into West Cornwall division;
- Grimsby and Cleethorpes divisions are merged into Grimsby&Cleethorpes division; Swansea and Neath divisions are merged into West Glamorgan 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.
