# The Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Regulations 1991, Note: Explanatory note


(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.
