Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Social Security (Crediting and Treatment of Contributions, and National Insurance Numbers) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/769) (“the 2001 Regulations”). The amendments are consequential on the coming into force of the Immigration (Restrictions on Employment) Order 2007 (S.I. 2007/3290) (“the 2007 Order”). The 2007 Order replaces the Immigration (Restrictions on Employment) Order 2004 (S.I. 2004/755) which listed the documents required to accompany an application for a national insurance number (“NINO”) to be allocated under regulation 9(1A) of the 2001 Regulations.

Regulation 2(3) renumbers the Schedule to the 2001 Regulations.

Regulation 2(5) inserts Schedule 1 which lists the documents specified in the 2007 Order which shall accompany an application for a NINO to be allocated.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the private or voluntary sectors.
