Explanatory note

These Regulations make provision in respect of street collections in the Metropolitan Police District. They supersede the Regulations revoked by Regulation 21(1). The principal changes are the making of provision for the relaxing of certain of the Regulations where a collection has been authorised to be held in connection with a procession (Regulations 9, 12 and 13); of provision regarding the opening of collecting boxes (Regulation 17); of provisions relating to the certification of accounts and the publication of details of the collection (Regulation 19); and of special provisions as regards certain collections in the pre-Christmas period (Regulation 20).
