These Regulations amend regulation 20(2) of the Police Federation Regulations 1969 as it relates to Federation property and funds held by the joint central committee of the Police Federation for England and Wales. They make it a requirement to continue the existing practice whereby the three trustees include one representative from each of the federated ranks, elected respectively by the constables', the sergeants' and the inspectors' central conference.
