Registers of Births and Deaths
The sections which amend the Births and Deaths Registration Act 1953 and the Registration Service Act 1953, relating to the form in which registers are to be kept and the provision of equipment and facilities by local authorities, extend and apply to England and Wales only.
	These provisions also give effect to minor and consequential amendments which do not change the application of the law in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but some of the provisions amended extend to Scotland and Northern Ireland.
