EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Marriage of Same Sex Couples (Registration of Buildings and Appointment of Authorised Persons) Regulations 2014 (“the principal Regulations”) to increase a fee for the registration of buildings for the solemnization of marriages of same sex couples, under section 43A of the Marriage Act 1949, from £120 to £123.

This increase is made in parallel with other amendments to fees (made in a separate Order under the Public Expenditure and Receipts Act 1968), and mirrors the amendment to the fee under section 41(6) of the Marriage Act 1949 for the registration of buildings for the solemnization of marriages between a man and a woman.

In consequence of the change to the fee under section 41(6), these Regulations also amend the reference to that fee in regulation 9 of the principal Regulations. Regulation 9 modifies the application of section 41 where an application for registration is made under that section in respect of a building that is already registered under section 43A.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.

Regulation 9(e) refers to the fee under section 41(6) Marriage Act 1949, which is also amended from 1 September 2014 by an Order under section 5 Public Expenditure and Receipts Act 1968 (c. 14).
