Explanatory note

These Regulations further amend the Child Support (Information, Evidence and Disclosure) Regulations 1992, which provide for information or evidence to be furnished in connection with the determination of any application under the Child Support Act 1991. The amendments made by these Regulations apply to cases in respect of which section 12 of the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000 has not come into force. The amendments made by regulation 2 enable information or evidence to be required for the purposes of verifying, in such cases as the Secretary of State may determine, such information or evidence that he holds, or has held, as he may determine.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
