These Regulations revoke the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (Remote Reviews of Detention) (Specified Police Stations) Regulations 2003 with effect from 1

st July 2004 such reviews will not be able to be conducted by way of video-conferencing facilities. Reviews of detention will be carried out in person or by telephone.
