The Council Tax (Discount Disregards) (Amendment) (Wales) Order 2003

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

The Council Tax (Discount Disregards) Order 1992 defines the phrase “youth training trainee” by reference to an “approved training scheme” as defined by section 28(6)(c) of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992.

Section 28(6)(c) of the 1992 Act was, however, repealed by section 41(5) of and Schedule 3 to the Jobseeker’s Act 1995 (“the 1995 Act”) as part of the change from the “Unemployment Benefit” system to the “Jobseeker’s Allowance” system effected by the 1995 Act.

This Order, consequently, redefines the phrase “youth training trainee” in terms of the phrase “training scheme” as defined by regulation 75(1)(b) of the Jobseekers Allowance Regulations 1996.
