Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Registration of Births and Deaths Regulations 1987 (“the principal Regulations”).

Regulations 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 amend respectively regulations 9, 10, 13, 17 and Schedule 2 of the principal regulations because of the coming into force on 14th October 1991 of paragraph 6 of Schedule 12 to the Children Act 1989. The amendments relate to registration or re-registration of the births of children whose parents are not married to each other.

Regulation 5 corrects two mistakes in regulation 14 of the principal regulations.
