{{Information-header}}
The Tribunals in England are replaced by a single Tribunal. The Welsh Tribunal is continued. 

Section 78 and sch 2 provided for a Tribunal chairman (i.e. Regional Chairman) to delegate certain function "if for any reason he is unable to act". This phrase is removed.

==Extract from Explanatory Notes==
'''Section 38: Organisation  '''

158. Section 38 replaces the existing multiple regional Tribunals in England with one
Tribunal and continues the Tribunal for Wales. In addition, it renames the role of chairman of 
each of the Tribunals as president. The Tribunal for England and the Tribunal for Wales will 
each have a president. The term "president" as it is currently used under the 1983 Act to refer 
to the chair of a Tribunal constituted for particular proceedings will be replaced with
"chairman".
