The requirement to refer regulations to the Social Security Advisory Committee does not apply where regulations are contained in a statutory instrument made before the end of the period of six months beginning with the coming into force of the enactment under which the regulations were made. Schedule 9, paragraph 26(a) to the Welfare Reform Act 2012 (c. 5) (“the 2012 Act”) inserted a reference to Part 4 of that Act into section 170(5) of the 1992 Act which has the effect of making that Part of the 2012 Act a ‘relevant enactment’ and therefore subject to the requirement to refer regulations to the Social Security Advisory Committee unless an exemption under section 173(5) applies."
