These Regulations revoke the Commons Registration (General) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2007. The latter Regulations would have revoked on 1st June 2007, in relation to England, provisions of the Commons Registration (General) Regulations 1966 relating to official searches of the commons registers and certificates of search. Those provisions will instead now remain in force.

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