Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which come into force on 7th April 2003, replace the table in regulation 10(2) of the Asylum Support Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/704) (as substituted by the Asylum Support (Amendment) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/472) and subsequently amended by the Asylum Support (Amendment) (No.2) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/2619)). They increase 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 under section 95 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 in respect of the essential living needs of a person or qualifying couple. These Regulations also revoke the Asylum Support (Amendment) (No.2) Regulations 2002.
