This document issues a technical correction to The Provision of Services (Amendment and Transitional Provision) Regulations 2026.
It modifies Regulation 6 to ensure the correct alphanumeric reference is used within the text.
The correction applies to any person or agency interpreting or enforcing the service provision standards established by the original 2026 instrument.
Arguments For
The document corrects a typographical error in the original Statutory Instrument to ensure legislative clarity.
The amendment ensures that references to specific regulatory sections are accurate and consistent with the intended numbering scheme.
Arguments Against
Legal practitioners might find the need for rapid corrections to recently published instruments creates temporary uncertainty in statutory interpretation.
Affected service providers may face confusion if they relied on the uncorrected version of Regulation 6 before this amendment was issued.
CORRECTION
Page 2, regulation 6: 'substitute '20' for '20C'' should read 'for '20' substitute '20C''.
This correction changes the phrasing of a substitution instruction in Regulation 6.
It ensures that the number '20' is replaced by '20C' rather than the inverse.
This maintains the correct sequence and identification of regulations within the broader Provision of Services framework.
