The Children (Performances) Amendment Regulations 2000
Citation and commencement1.
These Regulations may be cited as the Children (Performances) Amendment Regulations 2000 and shall come into force on 1st February 2000.
Revocation of Regulation 6 of the Children (Performances) Regulations 19682.
Signed by authority of the Secretary of State for Health
These Regulations revoke, in relation to England only, regulation 6 of the Children (Performances) Regulations 1968, so as to remove restrictions preventing local authorities from granting a licence allowing a child to take part in a public performance if the child would, in the twelve months before that performance, have taken part in other performances on more than a certain number of days, and requiring them to take certain other matters into account when deciding whether to grant a licence. From the coming into force of these Regulations, local authorities in England will not be subject to those restrictions when considering the grant of a licence in respect of a performance by a child.
