Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make three amendments to provisions made by the Child Support (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 2) Regulations 1995, which were made under the Child Support Act 1991. Regulation 32B of the Child Support (Maintenance Assessment Procedure) Regulations 1992 is re-positioned so as to follow rather than precede regulation 32A (regulation 2). Regulations 3 and 4 correct mistaken references in regulation 2 of the Child Support (Maintenance Assessments and Special Cases) Regulations 1992 and regulation 57 of the Child Support (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 2) Regulations 1995 respectively.

These Regulations impose no costs on business.
