# The Trade Union (Nominations) Regulations 1977, Note: Explanatory note


These Regulations supersede the nomination powers contained in the Industrial Relations (Nominations) Regulations 1971 and the provision for payments on death contained in those Regulations.
The Regulations enable nominators to dispose of sums on death to nominated persons otherwise than under a will or on intestacy. They also allow trade unions (as defined) to distribute up to £1,500 on the death of a member to persons appearing to be entitled.
