Section 62 inserts a new section 11A (Provision of equipment and facilities by local authorities) in the Registration Service Act 1953. Subsections (1) and (2) of section 11A set out how the council of every non-metropolitan county and metropolitan district (subject to the provisions of their local scheme arrangements) must provide and maintain equipment or facilities that the Registrar General considers necessary for a superintendent registrar or registrar to carry out their functions. This requirement applies across each register office or sub-district of a registrar.
