Set up by Act of Parliament in 1837, the statutory registration service is overseen by the Registrar General as part of the GeneralRegisterOffice now part of the the Home Office Identity and Passport Service but provided locally by the County or Unitary local authority. Similar rules regarding registration have applied in Scotland since 1855 and in Northern Ireland since 1845 for marriages and 1864 for births and deaths. The RegisterOffice is the office of the Superintendent Registrar of the District, in whose custody are all the registers of BD&M dating back to 1837. The Superintendent Registrar is also responsible for conducting the legal preliminaries to marriage and conducting civil marriage ceremonies. Registrations of BD&M are carried out by a registrar of BD&M and each Registration district will have one or more registrars and each may be responsible for a particular sub district. Since 1994 the range of services offered by Register Offices has expanded so that they may now provide additional celebratory services including statutory British nationality law British citizenship ceremonies Citizenship and Civil partnerships in the United Kingdom Civil Partnership ceremonies and non statutory ceremonies such as naming and renewal of vows. All civil ceremonies may also now take place in local approved premises such as hotels or public buildings.

General Council in medieval Scotland was a sister institution to Parliament of Scotland parliament that existed between the late fourteenth century and the early sixteenth century. It has been argued to be almost indistinguishable from parliament, and has always been treated together with parliament by historians. The main difference was that it could be called with less than the statutory 40 days notice required for parliament and other courts, and, since it was not a court, did not have the final judicial capacity of the senior institution over issues such as forfeiture of life and property for treason. It could and did raise taxation and issued legislation just as important as parliament. In times of royal minority or incapacity it was often preferred to parliament for instance the reigns of Robert II of Scotland Robert II , Robert III of Scotland Robert III , the period of captivity of James I of Scotland James I 1406 to 1424 , and much of the long minority of James II of Scotland James II 1437 to 1445 . In the reign of James III of Scotland James III it seems to have been largely abandoned, even in the minority period of 1466 to 1470 although this may be partly a side effect of its records being separated from the main register of parliament, and subsequently lost. General Councils finally ceased to be held at all in the reign of James IV, shortly before Convention of Estates of Scotland Conventions of Estates began to be held. Further reading R. J.
