Explanatory note

These Regulations revoke, in relation to England only, regulation 6 of the Children (Performances) Regulations 1968, so as to remove restrictions preventing local authorities from granting a licence allowing a child to take part in a public performance if the child would, in the twelve months before that performance, have taken part in other performances on more than a certain number of days, and requiring them to take certain other matters into account when deciding whether to grant a licence. From the coming into force of these Regulations, local authorities in England will not be subject to those restrictions when considering the grant of a licence in respect of a performance by a child.
