48Q: Application of Schedule 7 to local boards and their members

You could also call this:

“Rules for local board members are like rules for local authorities”

Part 1A of Schedule 7 applies to you if you are on a local board or are a member of one.

Part 1 of Schedule 7 also applies to you if you are on a local board or are a member of one. However, clauses 15 and 32AA to 36A do not apply to you. When you read Part 1, you should think of your local board as if it were a local authority, and you should think of yourself as if you were a member of that local authority. You might need to make some small changes in your mind as you read to make it fit your situation.
