Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Income-related Benefits (Subsidy to Authorities) Order 1998 (S.I. 1998/562) (“the principal Order”). Section 140F of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 authorises the varying of an order before, during or after the year to which it relates.

Article 2 provides that the additional subsidy payable to Scottish Homes is not to exceed £773,042.

Articles 4 and 5 substitute new schedules of figures to be used in calculating subsidy and thresholds for subsidy on rent allowances respectively (substituting Schedule 1 and Part V to Schedule 4 to the principal Order).

Article 7 makes amendments to Schedule 4 to the principal Order that are consequential on—

  • The Housing Benefit (General) Amendment Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/2734),

  • Amendments to the Rent Officers (Housing Benefit Functions) Order 1997 (S.I. 1997/1984) and the Rent Officers (Housing Benefit Functions) (Scotland) Order 1997 (S.I. 1997/1995 (S. 144)) (see S.I. 2000/1 and 2000/3), and

  • The Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit (General) Amendment Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/4).

Articles 3 and 6 make small remedial amendments.

This Order does not impose a charge on business.
