Article 4 modifies article 4 of the 2003 Order to exclude persons falling within paragraph (3) (inserted by article 4(2)(b)) from the maximum period of 6 weeks during which a local housing authority can accommodate a person with family commitments in B&B accommodation.
Article 5 modifies article 2 of the 2012 Order to disapply that provision in respect of a person falling within article 2A. Article 5(3) inserts article 2A which provides for the matters which a local housing authority must instead take into account in determining whether accommodation is suitable for a person specified in paragraph (1) of that article.
