(This note is not part of the regulations)
These regulations amend the Motor Vehicles (Third Party Risks) Regulations 1972.
Regulation 2 revokes regulation 11. The effect of this revocation is to lift from a company the requirement to notify the Secretary of State where a policy or security issued by the company ceases to be effective (other than by effluxion of time or by reason of death) without the consent of the person to whom it was issued.
An impact assessment has not been produced as no adverse impact on the costs of the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
