(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Regulations 1965 ("the principal Regulations"). The Regulations substitute an amended definition of "still-born child" and "still-birth" in the principal Regulations. The amendments are consequential upon the change in the definition of still-birth in the Still-Birth (Definition) Act 1992 (c. 29).
Section 56(1) of the Act was amended by the Still-Birth (Definition) Act 1992 c. 29, section 1(2).
