There is previous correspondence on your file 3632/314.
When the Lord Chancellor has signed I should be grateful if the Statutory Instrument could be sent immediately to the Legal Executive Branch (Miss H. M. Sweet). She has to receive the document for further necessary action in time for this Instrument to become operative on 1 January, 1970.
