Explanatory Note.

(This Nate is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general purport).

Regulation 2 of these regulations amends regulation 3(2)(c) of the Road Traffic (International Circulation) Regulations, 1960, consequential on the enact- meat of the Road Traffic (Amendment) Ordinance, 1964. Further, although regulation 7 of the principal regulations requires payment for International Circulation Permits of the fees prescribed in the Second Schedule, no such fac is prescribed. It has been considered that the charging of a fee would not be appropriate to the circumstances of the issue of the permits and the requirement is accordingly deleted.
