Made at 10.40 a.m. on 27th November 2017

Laid before Parliament at 2.00 p.m. on 27th November 2017

Coming into force in accordance with article 1(2)

The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions has reviewed the general level of prices in Great Britain in accordance with section 148AD(1) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992^f1.

The Secretary of State has had regard to the earlier order under that section, and it appears to him that relevant debits or credits have not, during the review period, maintained their value in relation to the general level of prices^f2.

Accordingly the Secretary of State makes the following Order in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 148AD(2) and (3) and 189(1) and (4) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992^f3.
