This Part of this Schedule applies to any resident who immediately before these Regulations come into force is in, or temporarily absent from, accommodation provided under Part III of the Act41 other than that provided under section 29(4)(c) of the Act42 (provision of hostels where persons for whom welfare services are provided may live).

From the date on which these Regulations come into force until 11th April 1993 (both dates inclusive), for the purposes of assessing the ability of a resident to whom this Part of this Schedule applies to pay for his accommodation, a local authority shall continue to give effect to the old rules.
