delete The Community Healthcare Bolton National Health Service Trust (Transfer of Trust Property) Order 1995 uksi-1995-381 · 1995
Summary

A 1995 statutory instrument that transferred trust property from Wigan and Bolton Health Authority to Community Healthcare Bolton National Health Service Trust, effective 16th March 1995. The Order simply effectuates an agreed one-time transfer of property between NHS bodies based on a schedule signed by both parties.

Reason

This Order is entirely obsolete — the property transfer occurred on 16th March 1995 (over 30 years ago) and the instrument serves no ongoing regulatory function. Keeping spent legislation on the books creates unnecessary statutory clutter without any corresponding benefit. The transfer was a one-time administrative event between NHS entities that required no ongoing regulatory oversight once effectuated.

delete The East Surrey Learning Disability and Mental Health Service National Health Service Trust (Transfer of Trust Property) Order 1995 uksi-1995-382 · 1995
Summary

A 1995 statutory instrument facilitating the one-time transfer of trust property (specified in a schedule agreed November 1994) from East Surrey Health Authority to the East Surrey Learning Disability and Mental Health Service NHS Trust, effective 16th March 1995.

Reason

This is a one-time completed administrative transaction from 1995 transferring specific property between NHS bodies. It imposes no ongoing restrictions, does not regulate market behavior, create monopolies, restrict trade, or impose compliance costs. It is entirely historical in nature—the transfer has long since occurred and the order has no present regulatory effect. Retaining it on the statute books serves no purpose.

delete The Greenwich Healthcare National Health Service Trust (Transfer of Trust Property) Order 1995 uksi-1995-383 · 1995
Summary

Administrative order transferring trust property from Bexley and Greenwich Health Authority to Greenwich Healthcare NHS Trust on 16th March 1995. Defines 'Authority', 'Trust', and 'trust property' (items in a schedule signed by both parties on 29th April 1994).

Reason

This is a one-time administrative action completing a property transfer that occurred in 1995 — over 30 years ago. It has no ongoing regulatory effect, imposes no restrictions or obligations, and serves no purpose beyond documenting a historical asset transfer that is already fully executed. Retained EU law and regulatory review frameworks should target rules that actively constrain economic activity, not spent administrative machinery.

delete The King’s Mill Centre for Health Care Services National Health Service Trust (Transfer of Trust Property) Order 1995 uksi-1995-384 · 1995
Summary

A 1995 statutory instrument providing for the one-time transfer of trust property (items in a schedule agreed October 1994) from the North Nottinghamshire Health Authority to the King's Mill Centre for Health Care Services NHS Trust, effective 16th March 1995.

Reason

This Order is a spent instrument — the property transfer it authorizes occurred in 1995 and has long since been completed. It imposes no ongoing regulatory burden, restriction on trade, or constraint on competition. However, it serves no current purpose and occupies statute book space without providing any benefit. As a purely historical administrative document for a one-time NHS reorganization, it should be deleted as obsolete.

delete The Lincoln Hospitals National Health Service Trust (Transfer of Trust Property) Order 1995 uksi-1995-385 · 1995
Summary

A 1995 Order transferring trust property (items in a schedule) from the Lincolnshire Health Authority to the Lincoln Hospitals NHS Trust, effective 16th March 1995. Purely administrative asset transfer between NHS bodies.

Reason

This Order effected a one-time administrative transfer of property assets that was completed in 1995. It has no ongoing regulatory function, imposes no restrictions or obligations on any party, and serves only as historical record of a completed transaction. Keeping obsolete administrative instruments on the statute book creates unnecessary legislative clutter without providing any compensating benefit. The transfer it mandated has already been fully executed for over 30 years.

delete The Premier Health National Health Service Trust (Transfer of Trust Property) Order 1995 uksi-1995-386 · 1995
Summary

A 1995 administrative order effecting the transfer of trust property (items in a schedule agreed November 1994) from South Staffordshire Health Authority to Premier Health National Health Service Trust on 16th March 1995. Purely a property transfer mechanism with no ongoing regulatory effect.

Reason

This is a spent, one-time administrative order from 1995 that accomplished a specific property transfer on a specific date. The transfer has long since been completed and the order creates no ongoing obligations or restrictions. It serves no current purpose beyond占用 statute books. Such historical administrative instruments should be removed as part of systematic cleanup of retained EU laws and obsolete secondary legislation.

delete The Surrey Ambulance Service National Health Service Trust (Transfer of Trust Property) Order 1995 uksi-1995-387 · 1995
Summary

Statutory Instrument that transfers trust property from East Surrey Health Authority to the Surrey Ambulance Service NHS Trust on 16th March 1995. The 'trust property' refers to items specified in a schedule agreed between the parties on 22nd November 1994.

Reason

This Order is entirely spent — it was a one-time administrative transfer of property that occurred on 16th March 1995. The transfer has already been executed and the property now belongs to the Trust. There is no ongoing regulatory burden, no compliance requirement, and no future action required. Keeping fulfilled, obsolete statutory instruments on the books serves no purpose and clutters the statute book with historical administrative records that have no legal effect.

keep The Leeds Development Corporation (Planning Functions) Order 1995 uksi-1995-389 · 1995
Summary

This Order transfers planning functions from the Leeds Development Corporation back to Leeds City Council, revokes the 1988 and 1989 Orders that established the development corporation's planning powers, and addresses transitional matters including compensation liability (placing it on the Secretary of State) and the enforceability of existing planning obligations by the local authority.

Reason

This Order does not impose ongoing regulatory burden — it is essentially a deregulatory measure that returns planning powers from an unelected development corporation quango to democratically accountable local government. The transitional provisions (compensation liability, continuation of in-progress matters, transfer of obligation enforceability) are standard administrative mechanics necessary to prevent legal chaos during the transfer. Britons are better off with planning accountability resting with locally elected councillors rather than unelected development corporations. Deleting this Order would leave the 1988/1989 framework in place, maintaining the very quango-style planning model your mandate critiques.

delete The Leeds Development Corporation (Transfer of Property, Rights and Liabilities) Order 1995 uksi-1995-390 · 1995
Summary

Transfers property, rights and liabilities from the Leeds Development Corporation to the Secretary of State for the Environment as of 31 March 1995, with exceptions for transfers already made under section 165 of the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980 or under the Leeds Development Corporation (Planning Functions) Order 1995.

Reason

This Order is entirely obsolete — it was a one-time administrative transfer completed on 31 March 1995 to wind up the Leeds Development Corporation, an entity that has long since ceased to exist. There is no ongoing regulatory purpose; any property rights or liabilities flowing from this transfer are now governed by general civil law. Keeping a spent transitional order on the books serves no purpose and contributes to the accumulated clutter of retained EU laws and obsolete secondary legislation that clogs the statute book.

delete REVENUE SUPPORT GRANT 1995-96 AND 1993-94 uksi-1995-391 · 1995
Summary

Scottish Order setting revenue support grant amounts and non-domestic rate income distribution for local authorities for financial years 1993-94, 1994-95, and 1995-96. Contains Schedules specifying grant amounts per council and revokes previous redeterminations.

Reason

Obsolete multi-year financial adjustment for years 1993-1996 that is entirely spent. The non-domestic rate pooling system it describes was a centrally-controlled mechanism that removed fiscal autonomy from Scottish councils. Post-devolution (1999), Scotland has its own fiscal framework; this pre-devolution control mechanism is both historical artifact and perpetuates centralisation. The specific amounts are historical and have no ongoing effect.

delete Revenue Support Grant 1990-91, 1991-92 and 1992-93 uksi-1995-392 · 1995
Summary

Revenue Support Grant (Scotland) Order 1995 specifying local authority grant amounts for financial years 1990-91, 1991-92, and 1992-93, and revoking the 1994 Order.

Reason

Obsolete historical instrument dealing with grant determinations for financial years 1990-93, all of which have long since concluded. No ongoing regulatory effect remains as all payments for those years have been completed. Maintaining this on the statute book serves no purpose beyond adding unnecessary clutter to retained law.

delete The National Health Service Trusts (Originating Capital Debt) (Wales) Order 1995 uksi-1995-394 · 1995
Summary

This Welsh statutory instrument from 1995 establishes the originating capital debt amounts for NHS trusts in Wales, specifying how each trust's initial capitalization is divided between initial loans and public dividend capital. It is a purely historical/administrative financial document setting up the capital structure of NHS trusts upon their establishment.

Reason

This 1995 Order is an obsolete historical document establishing initial capital structures for NHS trusts that have long since been reorganized, restructured, or superseded. It no longer governs current NHS trust finances. While the NHS's near-monopoly structure warrants scrutiny, this particular instrument merely allocates numbers to columns and has no bearing on private healthcare competition, regulatory burden, or market distortion. Its continued presence on the statute book serves no practical purpose and contributes to unnecessary legislative clutter.

delete APPLICATION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROVISIONS uksi-1995-401 · 1995
Summary

This Order establishes the Local Government Residuary Body (England) as a body corporate to manage the wind-down of local authorities abolished under the Local Government Act 1992. It sets out the Body's governance (3-20 Secretary of State-appointed members), functions for transferring property/rights/liabilities to successor authorities, power to issue levies and borrow money, audit requirements, and a 5-year target for completing transfers. The Body handles residual affairs of reorganized metropolitan counties (Avon, Cleveland, Humberside, etc.) and their constituent authorities.

Reason

This regulation established a transitional body for a one-time local government reorganization that occurred in 1995. The Body's enabling legislation contains a 5-year sunset for transfers (Article 15(2)), meaning its substantive functions were always intended to conclude by ~2000 at the latest. Any residual property, rights, or liabilities from that 1990s reorganization would either have been transferred decades ago or are now effectively abandoned. Keeping this Order on the statute books serves no practical purpose—it creates administrative overhead, maintains unnecessary reporting obligations to the Secretary of State and Parliament, and represents government intervention in asset transfer markets that could have been handled through normal legal succession. The regulation is obsolescent and should be deleted.

keep TRANSITIONAL PAYMENTS uksi-1995-402 · 1995
Summary

The Local Government Changes for England (Property Transfer and Transitional Payments) Regulations 1995 are administrative machinery provisions that facilitate the transfer of property, rights, liabilities, contracts, and records when local government authorities are reorganised, abolished, or boundary-changed under section 17 orders of the Local Government Act 1992. The Regulations establish: definitions for abolished/successor/relinquishing/acquiring authorities; information sharing obligations between authorities during preliminary periods; property transfer mechanisms (including charitable trust property and surplus land disposal); contractual rights and liabilities transfers; record access rights; and final accounts arrangements between designated and participant authorities.

Reason

These are purely administrative machinery provisions governing local government reorganisations. They impose no costs on economic activity, businesses, or market competition. Without these Regulations, property, contracts, and liabilities would lack clear legal transfer mechanisms during restructurings, creating legal uncertainty and practical difficulties. They do not derive from EU law, contain no gold-plating, and are not the type of economic regulation (planning, healthcare, financial services, trade restrictions) that this review targets.

keep LENGTHS OF HIGHWAY BECOMING TRUNK ROAD uksi-1995-405 · 1995
Summary

A 1995 Order designating lengths of highway at the South Cave Interchange on the A63 as trunk road, administered by the Secretary of State for Transport. The Order converts local slip roads to trunk road status, with the centre line indicated on a deposited plan.

Reason

This is a technical road classification order, not a regulatory burden. Trunk road status ensures these slip roads are maintained by National Highways rather than cash-strapped local authorities, guaranteeing proper upkeep of critical infrastructure. Deleting it would create administrative confusion and potentially leave important interchange roads unmaintained, harming road users and local communities who depend on this junction.
