  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations make amendments to the Healthy Start Scheme and Welfare Food (Amendment) Regulations 2005 (“the principal Regulations”).\nRegulation 2(2) and (4) increases the upper income level which determines whether a person receiving child tax credit but not working tax credit (subject to the new exception below), is entitled to benefit under the principal Regulations. Regulation 4 amends Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations to make similar provision.\nRegulation 2(5) adds a new paragraph (7) to regulation 3 of the principal Regulations, in order to create an exception that allows entitlement to benefit under the principal Regulations, where a person receives working tax credit (in addition to child tax credit) under regulation 7D (ceasing to undertake work or working for less than 16 hours per week) of the Working Tax Credit (Entitlement and Maximum Rate) Regulations 2002.\nRegulation 3(a) increases the value of vouchers available under the principal Regulations from £2.80 to £3.00. Regulation 3(b) inserts a new paragraph (3A) in regulation 8 of the principal Regulations, which provides that any increase in value of the vouchers made by amending Regulations applies to vouchers issued on or after the date on which the amending regulations come into force. This does not apply in respect of any re-issue of vouchers for any period prior to the date on which the new amount takes effect.\nA full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.",
