Issuing the levy
10
1
The Authority shall, by 15th February in the preceding year, notify in writing each police authority of the total amount of the levies and the levy attributed to that police authority as a result of the apportionment in accordance with the Schedule to this Order.
2
A levy is not invalid merely because it is issued after 15th February.
Substitution
11
1
Subject to the following provisions of this article, when the Authority has issued a levy for a financial year under this Order (originally or by way of substitution) it may issue a levy in substitution.
2
Except as provided by paragraph (3) below, no levy may be issued in substitution if the amount of the levy issued in substitution (the “new levy”) would be greater than the amount of the levy for which it is substituted (the “old levy”) or if the total amount of the levies issued for the relevant year would be greater than the total amount of the levies approved by the Secretary of State or issued under paragraph 3(1) or (2) of Schedule 3 to the 1997 Act.
3
The amount of the new levy may be greater than the amount of the old levy if —
a
the old levy, or the total amount of the levies issued for the relevant year, has been quashed because of a failure to fulfil the requirements of Schedule 3 or this Order; or
b
the new levy is required to be increased to effect a proper apportionment.
4
If the amount of the old levy exceeds that of the new levy, the following shall apply as regards anything paid if it would not have been paid had the amount of the old levy been the same as that of the new levy —
a
it shall be repaid if the police authority by whom it was paid so requires;
b
in any other case it shall (as the Authority determines) either be repaid or be credited against any subsequent liability of the police authority in respect of any levy issued by the Authority.
Anticipation
12
1
A police authority when making calculations in accordance with section 32 or 43 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 (as appropriate) (originally or by way of substitution) for a financial year, may anticipate a levy to be issued to it in accordance with this Order for the relevant year by the Authority in any case where such a levy has not been issued by the Authority to the police authority at the time the calculations are made.
2
Where, pursuant to paragraph (1) above, a police authority anticipates a levy to be issued by the Authority for the relevant year, the amount of the levy so anticipated shall be equal to the police authority’s estimate, at the time the calculations (or last calculation) are made, of the amount of the levy which will be issued to it for the relevant year.
3
Whether or not a police authority making calculations (originally or by way of substitute) for a financial year anticipates a levy to be issued in accordance with this Order —
a
where the Authority issues such a levy to the police authority, the police authority shall pay to the Authority a sum equal to the amount of the levy; and
b
where the Authority does not issue such a levy to the police authority, the police authority shall not pay any sum to the Authority in respect of such a levy.
4
When estimating the amount of levy which will be issued a police authority shall do so on the basis of any information available to it at that time.
Payment of the levy
13
1
The amount of a levy issued to a police authority under this Order shall be paid in full by that police authority in the relevant year in respect of which the levy is issued.
2
Subject to paragraph (4) below, where the levy issued to a police authority for the relevant year is £1 million or more, it shall be paid in ten equal instalments, payable respectively at the end of April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December and January in that year.
3
Subject to paragraph (4) below, where the levy issued to a police authority for the relevant year is less than £1 million, it shall be paid in five equal instalments, payable respectively at the end of April, June, August, October and December in that year.
4
In relation to the financial year ending with 31st March 1999 the instalment payable at the end of April shall be paid as to one half on 3rd April 1998 and as to the remainder at the end of April 1998.
5
References in this article to payment of a levy are references to the payment of a levy after the deductions of any amount credited against the liability of the police authority in respect of that levy in accordance with article 11(4) above.
Interest on unpaid levies
14
1
Where the levy, or any part of the levy, is not paid by the due date for payment the police authority shall be liable to pay the Authority interest at the rate of simple interest calculated from day to day on the unpaid amount from the due date for payment until the date when payment is made at a rate equivalent to 2 per cent above the highest base rate quoted from time to time by any of the reference banks.
2
For the purposes of paragraph (1) above —
a
the reference banks are the seven largest institutions —
i
authorised by the Bank of England under the Banking Act 1987 ; and
ii
incorporated in and carrying on a deposit-taking business within the United Kingdom,
which quote a base rate in sterling;
b
the size of an institution is to be determined by reference to its total consolidated gross assets denominated in sterling, as shown in its audited end-year accounts last published before the period for which interest is payable begins.
3
In this article —
“consolidated gross assets” of an institution is a reference to the gross assets of that institution together with any subsidiary within the meaning of section 736 of the Companies Act 1985 ; and “a deposit taking business” has the meaning given in section 6 of the Banking Act 1987 but subject to any order under section 7 of that Act.

SECTION III
SIGNIFICANCE OF TRAFFIC SIGNS AT CROSSINGS
Scope of Section III
11
The provisions of this Section of these Regulations (except regulation 16) are made under section 64(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 for the purpose of prescribing the warnings, information, requirements, restrictions and prohibitions which are to be conveyed to traffic by traffic signs and road markings of the size, colour and type prescribed by Section II.
Significance of vehicular light signals at Pelican crossings
12
1
The significance of the vehicular light signals prescribed by regulation 5(2)(a) and paragraph 3 of Schedule 2 for the purpose of indicating a Pelican crossing shall be as follows —
a
the green signal shall indicate that vehicular traffic may proceed beyond the stop line and across the crossing;
b
the green arrow signal shall indicate that vehicular traffic may proceed beyond the stop line and through the crossing only for the purpose of proceeding in the direction indicated by the arrow;
c
except as provided by sub-paragraph (e) the steady amber signal shall convey the same prohibition as the red signal except that, as respects a vehicle which is so close to the stop line that it cannot safely be stopped without proceeding beyond the stop line, it shall convey the same indication as the green signal or, if the amber signal was immediately preceded by a green arrow signal, as that green arrow signal;
d
except as provided in sub-paragraph (e), the red signal shall convey the prohibition that vehicular traffic shall not proceed beyond the stop line;
e
when a vehicle is being used for fire brigade, ambulance, national blood service or police purposes and the observance of the prohibition conveyed by the steady amber or the red signal in accordance with sub-paragraph (c) or (d) would be likely to hinder the use of that vehicle for the purpose for which it is being used, then those sub-paragraphs shall not apply to the vehicle, and the steady amber and the red signal shall each convey the information that the vehicle may proceed beyond the stop line if the driver —
i

when a vehicle is being used for fire brigade, ambulance, national blood service or police purposes and the observance of the prohibition conveyed by the amber, red or red-with-amber signal in accordance with sub-paragraph (c), (d) or (e) would be likely to hinder the use of that vehicle for the purpose for which it is being used, then those sub-paragraphs shall not apply to the vehicle, and the red signal, red-with-amber and amber signals shall each convey the information that the vehicle may proceed beyond the stop line if the driver —
i
accords precedence to any pedestrian who is on that part of the carriageway which lies within the limits of the crossing or on a central reservation which lies between two crossings which do not form part of a system of staggered crossings; and

2
The flashing green pedestrian light signal at a Pelican crossing shall convey —
a
to a pedestrian who is already on the crossing when the flashing green signal is first shown the information that he may continue to use the crossing and that, if he is on the carriageway or a central reservation within the limits of that crossing (but not if he is on a central reservation which lies between two crossings which form part of a system of staggered crossings) before any part of a vehicle has entered those limits, he has precedence over that vehicle within those limits; and
b
to a pedestrian who is not already on the crossing when the flashing green light is first shown the warning that he should not, in the interests of safety, start to cross the carriageway.
3
Any audible signal emitted by any device for emitting audible signals provided in conjunction with the steady green pedestrian light signal or the green figure, and any tactile signal given by any device for making tactile signals similarly provided, shall convey to a pedestrian the same indication as the steady green pedestrian light signal or as the green figure as the case may be.

then, in the case of that beneficiary and in relation to that benefit, the principal Regulations shall have effect, subject to paragraph (3), as if these Regulations had not been made.

a
the election shall have effect in relation to the benefit only to the extent that it accrues or has accrued —
i
by virtue of periods of service rendered before the cessation referred to in paragraph (1) (or, if there has been more than one such cessation, the last of them before the date on which the relevant regulation of these Regulations has effect); or
ii
by virtue of contributions paid in respect of any such periods of service; and
b
in determining entitlement to, or the amount of, the benefit to that extent, he shall (without prejudice to the application of this paragraph) be treated as if he had never recommenced service in such employment at any time after the cessation referred to in sub-paragraph (a);
and the principal Regulations shall apply accordingly.
