These Regulations amend the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/207) in relation to those persons who are undertaking qualifying courses as defined for the purposes of Parts II and IV of those Regulations by providing that refugees and persons given exceptional leave to enter or remain in Great Britain on humanitarian grounds, may count periods of receipt of income support towards the two year qualifying period which a person must satisfy before he may undertake a qualifying course (regulation 2).

These Regulations do not impose any charge on business.
