Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations rectify a drafting slip in the Prosecution of Offences (Custody Time Limits) (Amendment) Regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/767), where in regulation 2 the counties of Northumberland and Tyne and Wear are incorrectly referred to as “Northumbria” (the police area constituted by those counties).

By virtue of regulation 1(3) the Regulations come into force on 31st July 1989.
