1992 c. 5 (“the Act”). Section 110A was inserted by section 12 of the Social Security Administration (Fraud) Act 1997 (c. 47), and was substituted by paragraph 3 of, Schedule 6 to, the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000 (c. 19) (“the 2000 Act”); section 110A was amended by sections 1 and 19 of, and by the Schedule to, the Social Security Fraud Act 2001 (c. 11) and by section 46 of the Welfare Reform Act 2007 (c. 5) (“the 2007 Act”). Section 116A was inserted by section 47 of the 2007 Act. Section 191 is an interpretation provision and is cited because of the meaning given to the word “prescribed”.
