Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation is legislative housekeeping: it wipes four old Defence Committee Regulations off the books (from 1960, 1968, and 1971).

What it means: The Defence Committee – an advisory body under the Defence Act 1903 – no longer needs its own set of rules. This repeal tidies up the statute book by formally removing those obsolete regulations.

Who it affects: Unless you're a legal historian hunting for the 1960 Defence Committee Regulations (spoiler: they're gone), this won't impact you. It's a clean-up job, removing redundant red tape. The Committee itself had presumably been abolished or absorbed into other defence structures long before 1997, so keeping its rulebook was just clutter.
