# The Social Security (Isle of Man) Order 1977, Note: Explanatory note


This Order makes provision for modification of the Social Security Act 1975 so as to give effect to the Agreement relating to Social Security (set out in Schedule 1) between the Secretary of State for Social Services and the Department of Health and Social Services for Northern Ireland of the one part and the Lieutenant-Governor of the Isle of Man on the other. The Agreement provides that acts, omissions and events having effect for social security purposes in the territory of one party shall have effect for those purposes in the territory of the other. The Order makes adaptations to certain provisions of the Social Security Act 1975 (which are set out in Schedule 2) as to administration and enforcement so that certain matters to which corresponding provisions of Isle of Man legislation relate are deemed to be matters to which the provisions of the 1975 Act relate.
