The Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) (Amendment) Regulations 1995
These Regulations amend the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 1971. Section 7 of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 was amended by the Finance Act 1995 so that the form of the declaration which must be made and the particulars which must be furnished when a vehicle licence is taken out are to be specified by the Secretary of State instead of prescribed by regulations. In consequence of this, regulation 4 is revoked as spent and amendments are made to other regulations. Other amendments include the revocation of regulation 25 (which made special provision as to the identification of certain types of exempt vehicle); the amendment of regulation 26 so that it now applies to all exempt vehicles except pedestrian controlled vehicles; and the revocation as spent of regulations 11 (applications for new licence where vehicle becomes chargeable to duty at a higher rate), 28 (applications for trade licences), 43 (horse-power) and 45 (unladen weight).
