  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1967) (“the Income Support Regulations”), the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/207) (“the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations”), the Housing Benefit (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1971) and the Council Tax Benefit (General) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/1814).\nRegulation 2 amends each of these sets of Regulations so as to replace the existing definition of “self-employment route”. The amendment will allow the provisions in these sets of Regulations which relate to the self-employment route to be extended to persons receiving assistance in pursuing self-employed earner’s employment whilst taking part in any programmes provided or arrangements made pursuant to section 2 of the Employment and Training Act 1973 (c. 50) or section 2 of the Enterprise and New Towns (Scotland) Act 1990 (c. 35).\nRegulations 3 and 4 amend the Income Support Regulations and the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations to provide that persons receiving assistance under the self-employment route who do not fall within any of the existing exceptions shall not be treated as engaged in remunerative work.\nA full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.",
