(2) If a council fails to submit a scheme in accordance with paragraph (1) of this article, the Registrar General may, after consultation with the council, prepare a scheme for the purpose of section 13 of the Act of 1953 and any scheme so prepared by him, if approved by the Secretary of State, shall have effect as if it were a scheme submitted by the council and approved by the Secretary of State.
(3) Subject to any further scheme made by a council and approved by the Secretary of State under section 14 of the Act of 1953, and to the provisions of article 5(3) of this order, a scheme approved by the Secretary of State under paragraph (1) or (2) of this article for a country or district shall have effect for the organisation of the registration service in the county or district as from 1st April 1974.
5.—(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this article, every registration officer who immediately before 1st April 1974 holds office in or for any registration district or sub-district contained in the area of any local authority mentioned in column 1 or Part I of the Schedule to this order shall on 1st April 1974 be transferred to and become the holder of the office allocated to him in accordance with article 6 of this order as if he had been appointed to that office by the council mentioned in column 2 of Part I of the said Schedule opposite such first mentioned authority.
(2) Every registration officer who immediately before 1st April 1974 holds an office mentioned in column 3 of Part II of the Schedule to this order in or for the registration district or sub-district mentioned apposite thereto in column 1 or 2 of Part II of the said Schedule, shall on 1st April 1974 be transferred to and become the holder of the office allocated to him in accordance with article 6 of this order as if he had been appointed to that office by the council mentioned in column 4 of Part II of the said Schedule opposite such first mentioned office.
(3) Every registration officer transferred by paragraph (1) or (2) of this article shall hold his new office on terms and conditions not less favourable than those which as registration officer he enjoyed immediately before 1st April 1974 until the council notify him that any different terms and conditions applicable to his office under the registration scheme approved for the county or district under section 14 of the Act of 1953 or article 4 of this order are to have effect in his case.
6.—(1) Each council shall before 1st February 1974 make and submit to the Registrar General proposals for allocating to the posts described in the registration scheme approved for the county or district under section 14 of the Act of 1953 or article 4 of this order the officers who will, pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) of article 5 of this order, become registration officers in the county or district on 1st April 1974.

(3) If any council fails to submit proposals by 1st February 1974 for the purpose mentioned in paragraph (1) of this Article, the Registrar General may determine the allocation of officers to the posts described in the council's approved registration scheme, and any allocation so determined shall have effect as if it had been proposed by the council and approved by the Registrar General.
7.—(1) Nothing in the Act or in any scheme mentioned in article 4 of this order shall affect the validity of any certificate or licence issued or notice given under the Marriage Act 1949 before 1st April 1974. A marriage solemnised on or after that date on the authority of such a certificate or licence shall not be void, and a person solemnising a marriage in accordance with sub-paragraph (b)(iii) of the next succeeding paragraph shall not be guilty of an offence under section 75(2)(a)(ii) of the Marriage Act 1949, by reason of the fact that the marriage is solemnised in the office other than that specified in the notice of marriage or certificate.
(2) Where notice of marriage is given before 1st April 1974 to any superintendent registrar whose district will be altered or abolished on that date and the marriage has not been solemnised before that date, the following provisions shall apply:—
(a)where the district is altered but not abolished, the provisions of the Marriage Act 1949 with regard to the issue of a certificate or a certificate and licence shall apply as if the alteration had not taken place;
(b)
(i)the succeeding superintendent registrar shall cause any notice or exact copy of the particulars entered in the marriage notice book, required to be displayed under section 31(1) of the Marriage Act 1949, to be affixed in some conspicuous place in his office from 1st April 1974 for any unexpired portion of the period mentioned in the said section 31(1);
(ii)the succeeding superintendent registrar, and any other superintendent registrar so empowered by the Marriage Act 1949, may, in accordance with the provisions of that Act, issue his certificate or, as the case may be, his certificate and licence for the solemnisation of the marriage notwithstanding that the building in which the marriage is to be solemnised is not within his district or within the district within which one of the persons to be married has resided; and
(iii)the succeeding superintendent registrar may arrange for the solemnisation of the marriage in his office where the persons to be married had stated in the notice that they wished to be married in the office of the superintendent registrar to whom the notice was given.
(3) For the purposes of any notice of marriage to be given on or after 1st April 1974 the alteration or the establishment of any district by any scheme mentioned in article 4 of this order shall be deemed to have taken effect from 28th February 1974.
(4) The superintendent registrar of any district which will be abolished on 1st April 1974 shall for one month prior to that date display in a conspicuous position in his office and inform every person giving notice of marriage, the name and address of the superintendent registrar designated as his successor for the purposes of section 15(1) of the Act of 1953.
(5) Nothing in the Act or in any scheme mentioned in article 4 of this order shall prejudice or affect the registration of any building for the solemnisation of marriages under section 41 of the Marriage Act 1949 or the appointment of any person as an authorised person under section 43 of the Marriage Act 1949.
8. Where any birth (including a still-birth) or death occurring in any sub-district which is altered or abolished on 1st April 1974 has not been registered before that date, it shall be registered by the registrar of births and deaths for the sub-district in which is situated on 1st April 1974 the place of birth or death, as the case may be.

This Order provides for a reorganisation of local registration services in England and Wales (excluding Greater London and the Isles of Scilly) in consequence of the reorganisation of local government from 1st April 1974.
Schemes will be made by the councils of non-metropolitan counties and metropolitan districts establishing registration districts and sub-districts, determining the location of registration offices and the number of superintendent registrars, registrars of births and deaths and other officers required for the purpose of the Registration Acts.
Most registration officers are transferred by the Order on 1st April 1974, to posts allocated to them by the new councils. Officers suffering loss of employment or loss or diminution of emoluments will be enabled to claim compensation by Regulations to be made by the Secretary of State for the Environment under section 259 of the Local Government Act 1972.
The Order also contains transitional provisions with regard to notices and certificates under the Marriage Act 1949 and marriages to be solemnised before registration officers, and with regard to the registration of births and deaths.
