This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
(1)A local authority may make and submit to the Secretary of State for confirmation by him a registration scheme authorising the authority to compile and maintain a register for their district of—
(a)houses which, or a part of which, are let in lodgings, or which are occupied by members of more than one family; and
(b)buildings which comprise separate dwellings, two or more of which lack either or both of the following—
(i)a sanitary convenience accessible only to those living in the dwelling, and
(ii)personal washing facilities so accessible,
and the Secretary of State may, if he thinks fit, confirm the scheme, with or without modification.
(2)A registration scheme need not be for the whole of a local authority's district and need not be for every description of house or building falling within paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (1).
(3)A registration scheme may—
(a)specify the particulars to be inserted in the register;
(b)make it the duty of such persons as may be specified by the scheme to notify the local authority of the fact that a house or building appears to be registrable, and to give to the authority as regards the house or building all or any of the particulars specified in the scheme;
(c)make it the duty of such persons to notify the authority of any change which makes it necessary to alter the particulars inserted in the register as regards any house or building; and
(d)make a contravention of, or failure to comply with, any provision in the scheme an offence under the scheme, and a person guilty of an offence under the scheme shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale.
(4)A registration scheme may vary or revoke a previous registration scheme and a local authority may at any time, with the consent of the Secretary of State, by order revoke a registration scheme.
(5)A registration scheme shall not come into force until it has been confirmed but, subject to that, comes into force on such date as may be fixed by the scheme or, if no date is so fixed, at the expiration of one month after it is confirmed.
