(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations abolish the maximum charge which may be made by blood testers in respect of blood tests carried out for the purpose of determining paternity in civil proceedings under the Blood Tests (Evidence of Paternity) Regulations 1971.
Regulation 3 removes paragraph (2) of regulation 12 of the 1971 Regulations which made provision for the maximum charge which could be made by a tester. (The charges which may be made by samplers remain unchanged.) Regulation 4 amends Schedule 2 to the 1971 Regulations accordingly.
By virtue of regulation 1, these Regulations come into force on 1st April 1990.
