Section 47 Other amendments of the 1965 Act

111.Section 47, subsection (2) extends the offence of giving false information to a district registrar, to cover any information given to the Registrar General.

Subsection (3) adds a new section 54A to the 1965 Act which enables documents to be prescribed in electronic form and for the manner of attestation of documents to be prescribed. Subsection (3) came into force on 1st October 2006 – see regulation 2(a) of S.S.I.2006/597 for its initial use in relation to the 1965 Act, temporarily preserving the existing position.
