Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Commencement Order brings provisions of the Child Trust Funds Act 2004 into force, which are needed from 1st January 2005 (when the phased introduction of child trust funds commences). Vouchers will begin to be issued, and accounts opened (but not funded or operated) from that date. This Order brings the relevant provisions into force, to enable those arrangements to be made.
