Regulation 20
This Regulation applies to a collection in respect of which the Commander of the police district where it is to be held has issued a certificate for the purposes of this Regulation to the person who appears to him to be principally concerned in promoting the collection and which is made in accordance with the terms of that certificate.
No certificate shall be issued under paragraph (1) above unless it appears to the Commander that the collection is to be made in the period from 1st to 24th December in any year and in connection with the singing or playing (including the reproduction of recordings) of Christmas carols by two or more persons assembled together.
In the case of a collection to which this Regulation applies—
Regulations 4, 5, 12(b), 17 and 19, and, in so far as they relate to the numbering of collecting boxes, Regulations 15(2) and 16, shall not have effect; and
Regulations 6, 7, 8(1), 9, 12 (except paragraph (b)) and 13 shall be construed as if any reference to a permit or the Commissioner were, respectively, a reference to the certificate under paragraph (1) and the Commander, as if any reference to the chief promoter or a promoter were a reference to the person to whom the certificate is issued, and as if the reference in the proviso to regulation 13 to a collection which has been authorised to be held in connection with a procession were a reference to any collection.
