Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order removes from the Child Abduction and Custody (Falkland Islands) Order 1996 provisions which charge to Parliament expenses incurred by the Falkland Islands by virtue of the Order. These provisions are inappropriate and unnecessary, because local Falkland Islands legislation charges such expenses to public funds of the Islands. So far no such expenses have in fact been incurred.
