The amendments to the Architects (Registration) Acts, 1931 to 1938 which were made by the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 included the abolition of the statutory Board of Architectural Education and renaming the Architects' Registration Council of the United Kingdom as the Architects Registration Board.
