  "short_title": "Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages 1968",
  "long_title": "The Acts relating to registration of births, deaths and marriages (The Births and Deaths Registration Act 1953, the Marriage Act 1949 and the Registration Service Act 1953 ) empower the Registrar General to prescribe various forms and procedures necessary for the operation of those Acts. Also, the last mentioned Act empowers the Registrar General to prescribe the duties of registration officers in the execution of any enactment, their qualifications for appointment and other matters affecting these officers. These Regulations consolidate with amendments the earlier regulations which prescribed these forms, procedures and duties, etc. They do not, therefore, themselves contain a complete code of registration, but are supplementary to the Acts referred to.",
