The Local Government Act 1974 has a part that groups local authorities into classes. This is for sections 214 to 214M of the act. You can find these sections in the same act, which is about local government.

The classes of local authorities are listed in this part of the act. It helps you understand which local authorities fit into each class. You can look at the act to see what each class means.

This part of the act is called a schedule, which is like an extra page with more information. It is part of the Local Government Act 1974, but it is not the main part of the act.
