(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the War Pensions Committees Regulations 1990 (S.I.1990/1349) with effect from 1st January 1996 (when new appointments fall to be made to the Committees) so that the areas for which the Committees are established reflect the structure of local government as it will exist on 1st April 1996. The Regulations also permit the two Welsh War Pensions Committees to be known by Welsh names, and provide such names for them.

These Regulations do not impose any costs on business.
