# The Income Support (General and Transitional) Amendment Regulations 1990, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987 by providing for a reduction in the applicable amount of a person in certain circumstances where he has been notified of a course but has failed to attend it (regulations 2 and 3).
Where a person whose applicable amount is reduced under this provision is entitled to a protected sum, this is not reduced when the reduction to his applicable amount ceases to apply (regulations 4 and 5).
These Regulations also further amend the Income Support (Transitional) Regulations 1987 so that, where a person is entitled to a transitional or personal expenses addition under those Regulations, provision is similarly made for this not to be reduced when the reduction to the person’s applicable amount ceases to apply (regulation 6).
The report of the Social Security Advisory Committee dated November 1990 on the proposals to make these Regulations together with the statement showing the extent to which the Regulations give effect to them and, in so far as they do not give effect to them, the reasons why not are contained in Command Paper No. 1355, published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.
