(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend various provisions in the Coroners Act 1988 ("the 1988 Act"). Taken together with amendments already made by the Local Government Reorganisation (Amendment of Coroners Act 1988) Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/655), these amendments ensure that the provisions of the 1988 Act are consistent with various provisions about coroners which it is proposed to include in orders under section 17 of the Local Government Act 1992 in consequence of changes to local government in England under that Act. In particular, they provide for coroners' districts in a non-metropolitan county for which there is no county council but in which there is more than one local government district.
