  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order amends the Income-related Benefits (Subsidy to Authorities) Order 1998 (S.I. 1998/562) (“the 1998 Order”), which provides for the calculation and payment of housing benefit subsidy to local authorities in England and Wales, in respect of rent rebates for dwellings within the authorities' Housing Revenue Accounts.\nWith respect to authorities in England, the Schedule to this Order amends Schedule 4A to the 1998 Order to substitute the GDP deflator, the annual factor and the weekly rent limit for the purposes of determining whether or not an authority is liable to a deduction from subsidy payable for 2006-07 (paragraphs 2 and 4). The RPI figure replaces the GDP Deflator as the measure of inflation. It substitutes a rebate proportion for that year for the purpose of calculating the amount of the deduction (paragraph 3). The manner for calculating a dwelling’s average weekly rent and service charges has also been amended.\nWith respect to authorities in Wales, the Schedule to this Order amends Schedule 4A to the 1998 Order to substitute the specified amount “O” and the guideline rent increase for the purposes of determining whether or not an authority is liable to a deduction from subsidy payable for 2006-07 (paragraph 6). It also substitutes a rebate proportion for that year for the purpose of calculating the amount of the deduction (paragraph 5). By virtue of paragraph 4 of Schedule 4A to the 1998 Order, the amendment to the average weekly rent calculation also applies to Wales.\nA full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.",
