# The Social Fund Cold Weather Payments (General) Amendment (No. 2) Regulations 2010, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend regulation 3 of the Social Fund Cold Weather Payments (General) Regulations 1988 so that the amount of a cold weather payment will be £25 instead of £8.50.
They also correct a minor error in regulation 1A of the 1988 Regulations and revoke spent provisions in—
the Social Fund Cold Weather Payments (General) Amendment Regulations 1995 (which set the cold weather payment at £8.50), and
the Social Fund Cold Weather Payments (General) Amendment Regulations 2008 and 2009 (which allowed for cold weather payments of £25 to be made in the 2008-09 and 2009-10 winters respectively).
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the private or voluntary sectors.
