These Regulations, which come into force on 11th November 2002, amend regulation 10(2) of the Asylum Support Regulations 2000 (as substituted by the Asylum Support (Amendment) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/472)). They increase from £33.50 to £37.00 the total value, for any week, of asylum support in the form of vouchers redeemable for cash, or a cash payment, which may generally be expected to be provided weekly under section 95 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 in respect of the essential living needs of a person aged under 16. This increase will take effect on 11th November 2002. These Regulations also revoke the Asylum Support (Amendment) Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/3053).
