  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Building Regulations 1991 to exempt the Metropolitan Police Authority from the procedural requirements of those Regulations. Accordingly, the Authority is not exempt from the obligation to comply with the requirements in the Regulations with respect to the design and construction of buildings and the provision of services, fittings and equipment in or in connection with buildings, these being substantive requirements (section 126 of the Building Act 1984).\nBy virtue of regulation 2 of these Regulations, the Metropolitan Police Authority becomes an exempt body under section 5(2) of the Building Act 1984, and the function of enforcing building regulations conferred on any local authority under section 91(2) of that Act will not be exercisable (section 5(3)). An exempt body prescribed for the purposes of section 5 is also a public body under section 8 (directions dispensing or relaxing building regulation requirements) of that Act.",
