1. In its letter of 19th April
2000 the Committee requested a memorandum on the following point:
In relation to
the amendments made by regulations 4 and 5, identify the instrument(s)
which inserted sub-paragraph (e) in regulation 7A(4) of the 1987
Regulations and in regulation 4A(4) of the 1992 Regulations, and
explain why those (and any other relevant amending) instruments
were not cited in footnotes (b) and (c) at page 2 (see paragraph
2.47 of Statutory Instrument Practice).
2. Sub-paragraph (e) of regulation
7A(4) of the 1987 Regulations and regulation 4A(4) of the 1992
Regulations were inserted by regulation 3(1)(a) and regulation
2(1)(a) (respectively) of S.I. 1994/1807 which should have been
referred to in the relevant footnotes. The omission was, regrettably,
an error and we shall make arrangements for a correction to be
made in the annual volume.
