an application for asylum support is made,
the applicant or any other person to whom the application relates has previously had his asylum support suspended or discontinued under regulation 20, and
there has been no material change of circumstances since the suspension or discontinuation,
the application need not be entertained unless the Secretary of State considers that there are exceptional circumstances which justify its being entertained.
