## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make minor amendments to the Registration of Births and Deaths (Welsh Language) Regulations 1987.
The forms prescribed for the registration of live births and still-births and their associated declarations, the declaration and statement for the re-registration of a birth and the form of certificate of registration of birth are amended so as to delete any reference to an NHS number, to insert a specific reference to the occupation of the mother and to make other minor changes in layout. These amendments, amongst other changes, implement proposals in paragraphs 4.5 and 4.21 of the White Paper “Registration: proposals for change” (Cm 939) published in January 1990.
Regulation 3 revokes the provision in the 1987 Regulations that in the case of any discrepancy between an English text and a Welsh text permitted by the Regulations, the English text shall prevail.
These Regulations impose no costs on business.
