(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages Regulations 1968. Under those Regulations registration officers were required to account quarterly to the Registrar General for fees paid to them in connection with their registration duties. Under the amended provisions they are required to render accounts annually (regulation 2). The account to be rendered in April 1997 will cover the preceding nine months only (regulation 3).
The approval of "the Minister" is required by section 20 of the Registration Service Act 1953. By virtue of section 21(1) of that Act, as amended by article 5(1) and paragraph 13 of Schedule 2 to the Transfer of Functions (Registration and Statistics) Order 1996 (S.I. 1996/273), "the Minister" means the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
S.I. 1968/2049, to which there have been amendments not relevant to these Regulations. The only provisions of the principal Regulations which remain in force relate to registration officers and accounting.
