Under the Temples Order of 1971 the Under Treasurer of the Middle Temple, along with the Sub-Treasurer of the Inner Temple, was defined as a local authority with the same powers and responsibilities as the Inner London boroughs under the London Government Act 1963, except in relation to housing.
Through powers vested in the Under Treasurer of the Middle Temple, Middle Temple exercises a small number of local authority functions, with the remainder being delegated to the responsibility of the City of London.

For many years, the Inn has been working to ensure that access into our buildings is made as easy as possible for those with disabilities. Ancillary to this we have tackled other issues such as the installation of an induction hearing loop in our Hall and had tactile buttons fitted into many of our lifts.
Parallel to this, we have undertaken reviews of our policies and working practices on matters such as non-discrimination to ensure that irrespective of race, colour, gender, age etc. everyone is treated equally.
