Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Part II of the Local Government Act 1992 makes provision for local government changes in England. The Local Government Commission for England conducts a review of a local government area and decides whether to make recommendations to the Secretary of State for the Environment about such changes. Where recommendations for change are made, the Secretary of State may make an Order, under section 17 of that Act, giving effect to those recommendations with or without modifications.
These Regulations amend the Local Government Changes for England (Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/531) to make further incidental, consequential, transitional and supplementary provision for housing benefit and council tax benefit for the purposes of, and in consequence of such Orders in relation to the payment of subsidy for such benefits granted or allowed before a reorganisation and claims for and other matters related to such payment.
These Regulations do not impose a charge on businesses.
