These Regulations amend the Street Collections (Metropolitan Police District) Regulations 1979. Under those Regulations a requirement that a statement of account supplied to the Commissioner of Police in respect of a street collection must be certified by a qualified accountant may be waived if the amount of the proceeds of the collection does not exceed £100. Regulation 2 of these Regulations increases that sum to £400. It also enables the Commissioner of Police to waive other requirements as to the publication of details of the collection, if the amount of the proceeds does not exceed £400. Regulation 3 substitutes the Chief Superintendent of a police division for the Commander of a police district as the authorising officer in relation to the authorisation of collections made in connection with the singing or playing of carols during the pre-Christmas period.
section 5 was amended by the Local Government Act 1972 (c.70), section 251 and Schedule 29, paragraph 22.
