1 Short title
This Act may be cited as the City of London (Ward Elections) Act 2002.

2 Interpretation
(1) In this Act—
  * “the 1957 Act” means the City of London (Various Powers) Act 1957 (c. x);
  * “city” means city of London;
  * “occupying”, in relation to any premises, means occupying for relevant purposes by personal physical presence there and, in the case of a qualifying body, includes such occupation—
    (a) through a director, officer, employee or agent of that body, or
    (b) through a holder of any paid or unpaid office for the performance of whose functions accommodation is being provided by a qualifying body;
  * “qualifying body” means a body corporate or an unincorporated body other than a partnership within the meaning of section 1 of the Partnership Act 1890 (c. 39);
  * “relevant purposes” means the carrying on of any trade, business, profession or other occupation or calling, or the performance of the functions of any paid or unpaid office, being functions for whose performance accommodation is being provided by a qualifying body (whether or not they are functions of that body);
  * “workforce”, in relation to a qualifying body, means all those persons whose principal or only place of work on the qualifying date is ordinarily the premises in respect of which that body’s right to appoint voters arises, and who work for that body.
(2) For the purposes of this Act an unincorporated body which is occupying any premises shall be taken to be doing so as owner or tenant whether or not the person who is on its behalf the owner or tenant of those premises is occupying them.
(3) This Act shall be construed as one with Part II of the 1957 Act.

3 Qualification of voters at ward elections
(1) Section 6 of the 1957 Act (qualification of voters at ward elections) shall be amended as follows—
(a) After subsection (1)(b) there shall be inserted— “or
(c) are persons appointed in writing as voters by a qualifying body which ordinarily occupies as owner or tenant any premises situated in that ward, being premises in respect of which the right to appoint one or more voters depends on the size of the workforce there;”.
(b) After subsection (2) there shall be inserted—
“(3)In this section “occupies” shall be construed in accordance with subsection (1) of section 2 of the City of London (Ward Elections) Act 2002; and “qualifying body” and “workforce” have the respective meanings given by that subsection.”.
(2) The extent of the right to appoint mentioned in section 6(1)(c) of the 1957 Act as depending on the size of the workforce shall be—

(b) for a workforce that exceeds 50, the number given by paragraph (a) of this subsection plus 1 for every 50 of that excess.
(3) In the case of a workforce of over 5 whose number is not exactly divisible by 5 or 50, as the case may be, the remainder shall be disregarded for the purposes of subsection (2) above.
(4) For ward elections to be held during the period of 12 months beginning with 16th February in the appointed year or during the period of 12 months beginning with that date in any subsequent year, the qualifying date is 1st September in the preceding year.

(b) became a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by virtue of a certificate of naturalisation granted, or registration effected, at a time when he was resident in Solomon Islands.
(2) Apart from subsection (1), a woman has a connection with the protectorate if she acquired the status of citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (automatically or by registration) on the grounds of marriage to a man who has that connection by virtue of subsection (1), or would have done so had he lived.
(3) But a person does not have a connection with the protectorate if he, his father or his father’s father—

(6) In this section “relevant territory” means any territory which on Independence Day is a colony or an associated state, other than any territory which on that day is not a colony for the purposes of the 1948 Act as then in force (and accordingly does not include Solomon Islands).
