# The Asylum Support (Amendment No. 3) Regulations 2015, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Regulation 2 amends regulation 10 of the Asylum Support Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/704) to provide that the Secretary of State may make a weekly cash payment of £36.95 in respect of the essential living needs of persons to whom the Secretary of State has decided to provide asylum support. It also makes consequential amendments to that regulation.
These Regulations take effect from 10th August 2015. On that date, the Asylum Support (Amendment No.2) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/944) (which set out the previous categories of persons to whom cash payments were provided and the amounts of those payments) are revoked.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private and voluntary sector is foreseen.
