These Regulations amend various provisions in the Coroners Act 1988 (“the 1988 Act”) by exercise of powers contained in the Local Government Act 1992 (“the 1992 Act”). These amendments ensure that the provisions of the 1988 Act are consistent with various provisions about coroners which it is proposed to include in orders under section 17 of the 1992 Act in consequence of changes to local government in England under the 1992 Act.
