These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 19(10)(c), 29(1) and (3), 35(1) and 36(2) and (4) of the Jobseekers Act 1995(1).
These Regulations are made with a view to ascertaining whether their provisions will, or will be likely to, encourage persons to obtain work or will, or will be likely to, facilitate the obtaining by persons of work(2).
A draft of this instrument has been laid before Parliament in accordance with section 37(2) of the Jobseekers Act 1995 and approved by resolution of each House of Parliament.
The Social Security Advisory Committee has agreed that the proposals in respect of these regulations should not be referred to it(3).
Accordingly the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions makes the following Regulations:
1995 c.18. Section 35(1) is an interpretation provision and is cited because of the meaning given there to the words “prescribed” and “regulations”. Section 35(1) and 36(4) were amended by section 2 of, and paragraphs 62 and 63 respectively of Schedule 3 to the Social Security Contributions (Transfer of Functions, etc) Act 1999 (c.2).
See section 29(8) of the Jobseekers Act 1995.
See sections 170 and 173(1)(b) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992(c.5); paragraph 67 of Schedule 2 to the Jobseekers Act 1995 added that Act to the list of “relevant enactments” in respect of which regulations must normally be referred to the Committee.
