The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 123(1)(a), (d) and (e), 131(3)(b), 135(1) and (2), 137(1) and (2) and 175(1), (3) and (4) of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992(1), sections 4(5) and (12), 35(1) and 36(2) and (4) of, and paragraph 11 of Schedule 1 to, the Jobseekers Act 1995(2) and sections 1(5)(a) and 17(1) of the State Pension Credit Act 2002(3).
In respect of the provisions in these Regulations relating to housing benefit and council tax benefit, the Secretary of State has not consulted with organisations appearing to him to be representative of the authorities concerned because it appears to him to be inexpedient to do so by reason of the urgency of the matter(4).
For the same reason it also appears to him to be inexpedient to refer proposals to make these Regulations to the Social Security Advisory Committee(5).
1992 c. 4; sections 123, 131, 135 and 137 were amended, with respect to council tax benefit, by Schedule 9 to the Local Government Finance Act 1992 (c. 14), paragraphs 1(1), 4, 8 and 9. Section 137(1) is cited because of the meaning given to the word “prescribed”. Section 175(1), (3) and (4) is applied to provisions of the State Pension Credit Act 2002 (c. 16) by section 19(1) of that Act.
1995 c. 18; section 35(1) is cited because of the meaning given to the words “applicable amount”, “prescribed” and “regulations”.
2002 c. 16; section 17(1) is cited because of the meaning given to the word “regulations”.
See section 176 of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (c. 5).
