Coming into operation

29th September 1998

Whereas arrangements known as “the New Deal” have been made by the Department of Economic Development under section 1 of the Employment and Training Act (Northern Ireland) 1950 (“the 1950 Act”)(1):

And whereas the Department of Economic Development, in exercise of the powers conferred on it by Article 4 of the Employment and Training (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 1988(2) and of every other power enabling it in that behalf, made the New Deal (Miscellaneous Provisions) Order (Northern Ireland) 1998(3) (“the principal Order”) affecting the treatment of payments received by participants in the programmes within the New Deal known as “the Full-time Education and Training Option”, “the Voluntary Sector Option” and “the Environmental Task Force Option” using facilities under the arrangements:

And whereas the New Deal includes, in addition to “the Full-time Education and Training Option”, “the Voluntary Sector Option” and “the Environmental Task Force Option”, a programme of employment or employment related training known as “the Employment Option”:

And whereas it appears to the Department of Economic Development that the Employment Option makes provision for persons using facilities provided in pursuance of them to receive payments in connection with their use of those facilities:

Now, therefore, the Department of Economic Development, in exercise of the powers conferred on it by Article 4 of the Employment and Training (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 1988(2) and of every other power enabling it in that behalf, hereby makes the following Order:
