Regulation 144 FormsI1
United Kingdom
The petition officer must supply free of charge as many forms for use in accordance with these Regulations as appear to that officer reasonable in the circumstances to any person who satisfies that officer of their intention to use the forms in connection with a petition.
A reference in these Regulations to a form in Schedule 2 identified by a letter is—
in relation to a petition held in a constituency in Scotland, a reference to the form identified by that letter in Part 1 of that Schedule;
in relation to a petition held in a constituency in England and Wales, a reference to the form identified by that letter either in Part 1 F1of that Schedule or in an order made under section 26(2) of the Welsh Language Act 1993 as applied by section 21(5) of the Act;
in relation to a petition held in a constituency in Northern Ireland, a reference to a form identified by that letter in Part 3 of that Schedule unless there is no form with that letter in that Part, in which case it is a reference to the form identified by that letter in Part 1.
Paragraph (2)(c) does not apply to a reference to form G1.
Where these Regulations require a form in Schedule 2 to be used, with the exception of Form A (the signing sheet), a form to substantially like effect may be used with such variations as the circumstances may require.
