On 14 June 2005 I made an order under Section 2 (6) of the Taxes Management Act 1970 amalgamating a number of divisions in Northamptonshire, Tyne and Wear and Greater London with effect from 1 July 2005, as follows:

Northampton County and Northampton Borough Divisions are merged into Northampton Division;

Gateshead, Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, North Shields and South Shields Divisions are merged into Tyneside Division;

First East Brixton and Third East Brixton Divisions are merged into First and Third East Brixton 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.
