Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation repeals (cancels) the 1946 Preference Boards regulations made under the Re-establishment and Employment Act 1945-1955.

What it does:

Scraps the old rules: It officially removes Statutory Rules 1946 No. 15 from the books.
Context: The Re-establishment and Employment Act was post-WWII legislation that helped returning servicemen (veterans) get their old jobs back or find new ones. "Preference Boards" were tribunals that decided disputes about these employment rights.

Why it matters: While this specific document only shows the repeal of the old rules, it signals that the government was updating how these veteran employment disputes would be handled in 1956—presumably replacing the 1946 rules with new provisions to reflect changing circumstances nearly a decade after the war ended.
