Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make minor amendments to the Charities References in Documents (Scotland) Regulations 2007. The reference to “bills of exchange” in regulation 4(d) of those Regulations is deleted and replaced with a new entry which clarifies that cheques, as defined in the Bills of Exchange Act 1882, are not included in the list of documents on which specified information about a charity must be stated.
