Social Security
Made 22nd February 2017
Laid before Parliament 23rd February 2017
Coming into force 16th March 2017
The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 80(1) and (3)(b) and (c) and 94(1), (2) and (3)(a) of the Welfare Reform Act 2012.
The Secretary of State has not referred proposals in respect of these Regulations to the Social Security Advisory Committee, as it appears to him that by reason of the urgency of the matter it is inexpedient to do so.
