# The National Assistance (Assessment of Resources) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2001, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make further amendments to the National Assistance (Assessment of Resources) Regulations 1992 (“the principal Regulations”). The principal Regulations concern the assessment of the ability of a person (“a resident”) to pay for accommodation arranged by local authorities under Part III of the National Assistance Act 1948.
The principal Regulations are amended so that, for the purpose of calculating a resident’s capital, any ex-gratia payment of £10,000 made on or after 1st February 2001 by the Secretary of State in consequence of a person’s imprisonment or internment by the Japanese during the Second World War shall be disregarded as capital.
