# The Income-related Benefits (Subsidy to Authorities) (Temporary Accommodation) Amendment Order 2009, Note: 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), which provides for the calculation and payment of housing benefit and council tax benefit subsidy to local authorities in England, Wales and Scotland which administer those benefits.
Article 2 substitutes a new article 17 and inserts a new article 17A. The subsituted article 17 provides for the calculation of subsidy in relation to temporary accommodation held under a licence agreement that is not self-contained or where board and lodging is provided. The new article 17A provides for the calculation of subsidy in respect of temporary accommodation held under a licence agreement that is self-contained, or that is leased on a short lease by a local authority. Article 2 also inserts a new Schedule 7 which lists local authorities that are in London and makes a consequential amendment to article 14.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the private or voluntary sectors.
