  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations.)\nThese Regulations amend the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996.\nIn particular, they remove the requirement that an employment officer must specify in writing the place and time at which a claimant of a jobseeker’s allowance may be required to attend. The regulations provide that a claimant may be summoned by telephone or by electronic means, as well as by a written summons.\nThese Regulations make in relation to Northern Ireland only provision corresponding to provision contained in Regulations made by the Secretary of State for Social Security in relation to Great Britain and accordingly, by virtue of section 149(3) of, and paragraph 10 of Schedule 5 to, the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 (c. 8), are not subject to the requirement of section 149(2) of that Act for prior reference to the Social Security Advisory Committee.",
