# The Fire Services (Appointments and Promotion) (Amendment) Regulations 1992, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations substitute provisions of the Fire Services (Appointments and Promotion) Regulations 1978 (as amended by the Fire Services (Appointments and Promotion) (Amendment) Regulations 1991) relating to ineligibility to enter for certain examinations. The Regulations make it clear that a member is to be ineligible if he attended the sitting of none of the papers in the immediately preceding year’s examination. The Regulations ensure that ineligibility will not occur in respect of non-attendance at, or failure to achieve 25% or more of the marks available in, an examination before 1st April 1991. The Regulations also ensure that a person who entered for an examination on or after 1st April 1991 and before 1st April 1992 when so ineligible will be treated as though he was eligible to enter, and duly entered, the examination in question.
