At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the 9th day of February 2005

Present,

The Queen’s Most Excellent Majesty in Council

Her Majesty, in exercise of the powers conferred on Her by section 28 of the Child Abduction and Custody Act 19851, is pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, as follows:–

1.

This Order may be cited as the Child Abduction and Custody (Falkland Islands) (Amendment) Order 2005, and shall come into force on 24th March 2005.

2.

The Child Abduction and Custody (Falkland Islands) Order 19962 is amended —

(a)

in article 2, by substituting for the words “sections 26 and 27” the words “section 27”; and

(b)

in the Schedule, by deleting section 26.

A. K. Galloway
Clerk of the Privy Council
(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order removes from the Child Abduction and Custody (Falkland Islands) Order 1996 provisions which charge to Parliament expenses incurred by the Falkland Islands by virtue of the Order. These provisions are inappropriate and unnecessary, because local Falkland Islands legislation charges such expenses to public funds of the Islands. So far no such expenses have in fact been incurred.
