Commentary Part 5 – Registration services Section 32: Provision of certain information to district registrars
216.This corrects an erroneous cross-reference. Section 39C(1)(a)(i) of the Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages (Scotland) Act 1965 currently refers to “the registers of births, deaths and marriages transmitted to the Registrar General under section 34(3) of this Act”. This reference should be to section 34(4) of the 1965 Act which provides that “The district registrar for a registration district shall, at such time or times as the Registrar General may direct, transmit a relevant register to the Registrar General”. Section 32 provides the correct cross-reference.
