(This note is not part of these Regulations)
These Regulations require registrars of births and deaths, in England and Wales, and the Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages for Scotland to provide specified particulars of death to the Secretary of State for Social Services.
These Regulations are made under sections 60, 83(1) and 84(1) of the Social Security Act 1986 and are also made before the expiry of a period 12 months of the commencement of those sections, that is on 6th April 1987 and 25th July 1986. Accordingly they are exempt by section 61(5) of that Act, from the requirement of section 10(1) of the Social Security Act 1980 (c. 30) to refer proposals to the Social Security Advisory Committee and are made without reference to that Committee.
