Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Discretionary Housing Payments (Grants) Order 2001 (“the 2001 Order”), which sets out the procedure by which the Secretary of State will make payments to local authorities towards the cost of discretionary housing payments in accordance with section 70 of the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000.
Article 2 (2) and (3) amends the 2001 Order to provide that a claim by an authority in England and Wales in respect of a total amount of less than £50,000 for any year need not be audited by the authority’s auditor and article 2(5) makes associated amendments in the provisions governing payments under that section 70. Article 2(4) substitutes a new article 4 in that Order in relation to an authority’s obligation to keep records and provide information in connection with claims (in particular to specify time limits for the provision of certain information), and article 2(6) inserts a new article 6A in the 2001 Order to enable the Secretary of State to estimate the amount of payments due, where the authority has failed to comply within the specified time with certain conditions imposed by that Order.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
