Explanatory Note

These Regulations amend the Premium Savings Bonds Regulations 1972 so as to remove one of the exceptions to the requirement that not less than 100 premium savings bond units may be purchased in the name of any person at any time. The exception removed is that which related to the purchase of bonds on behalf of a person under the age of sixteen, in which case the minimum purchase was ten units.
