  "text": "These Regulations further amend the Social Security Benefit (Dependency) Regulations 1977 (“the principal regulations”).\nThe Regulations re-prescribe and supersede—in new regulations 4A and 4B in Part I (General) of the principal regulations—the provisions of regulations 6 and 7 in Part II (Child Dependants) of those regulations. These related to entitlement to child's special allowance, guardian's allowance and increase of benefit in respect of dependent children, and to the condition of such entitlement that the beneficiary is entitled to child benefit under the Child Benefit Act 1975 in respect of the child or children concerned. They provided for the beneficiary in prescribed circumstances to be treated as entitled to such child benefit and in other prescribed circumstances to be treated as not so entitled. These regulations in re-prescribing those provisions apply them also to entitlement to increase of benefit in respect of a female person having care of such dependent children, an entitlement which is subject to the same condition.\nThe regulations also revoke regulations 6 and 7 of the principal regulations which have thus been superseded.\nThe Report of the National Insurance Advisory Committee, dated 27th March 1980, on the draft of these Regulations referred to them, together with a statement showing that the Committee approved the draft as submitted to them, is contained in Command Paper (Cmnd. 7896) published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office.",
