Article 61 Regulations as to notification of deaths

Regulations may provide that it shall be the duty of the Registrar General or any registrar to furnish the Department, for the purpose of its functions under any of the benefit Acts and the functions of the Secretary of State under any corresponding enactment applying in Great Britain, with the prescribed particulars of such deaths as may be prescribed.

The regulations may make provision as to the manner in which and times at which the particulars are to be furnished.

In paragraph (1), “Registrar General” and “registrar” have the meanings assigned to them in the 1976 NI 14 Births and Deaths Registration (Northern Ireland) Order 1976.
