Made at 1.40 p.m. on 7th March 2022

Laid before Parliament at 4.30 p.m. on 7th March 2022

Coming into force at 7.30 p.m. on 7th March 2022

The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 108(1) and (2), 109(2) and (3)(a), 122 and 175(1) and (3) to (5) of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992^f1.

The Secretary of State is satisfied of the matters to which section 108(2)(a) and (b) of that Act refer.

In accordance with section 173(1)(a) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992^f2, it appears to the Secretary of State that by reason of the urgency of this matter it is inexpedient to refer the proposals in respect of these Regulations to the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council.
