Museum of London - Regulatory Reform Order Consulatation Paper

The below consultation document relates to the proposal to extend from the City of London to the whole of Greater London the area within which the Museum of London may 'collect and exhibit collections'. This will allow the Museum of London to merge with the newly opened Museum in Docklands and therefore ensuring the latter's financial viability.

The present legislation (the Museum of London Act 1965) restricts the Museum of London's (MoL) ambit to the City it is unable to merge with the Museum in Docklands (MiD). This proposed Regulatory Reform Order (RRO), by extending the MoL's ambit to Greater London will allow this merger. This will ensure the MiD's survival and therefore safeguard for the benefit of the public the display of the MoL's Port and Docklands Collection, loaned to the MiD by the MoL and currently housed in its premises at West India Quay, London, E14.

The consultation paper sets out the background to the project, identifies the changes required and explains what a Regulatory Reform Order is and why it is the best method for securing these changes. It also invites responses from those interested parties that will be affected by the proposals.
