  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations.)\nThese regulations further amend the Royal Ulster Constabulary (Discipline and Disciplinary Appeals) Regulations 1988 (the principal regulations).\nRegulation 2 substitutes the words “police force in Great Britain” for the words “home police force” where they occur in the principal regulations and amends regulation 3(1) of those regulations by deleting the definition of “home police force” and inserting a definition of “police force in Great Britain”.\nRegulation 3 makes provision for the remission of a disciplinary appeal by the chief constable for hearing by a chief officer of a police force in Great Britain where the chief constable has an interest therein other than in his capacity as chief constable or was concerned in the conduct of the hearing out of which the appeal arose and where similar considerations preclude the appeal being heard by a deputy chief constable.",
