Explanatory note

This Order provides for the coming into force of section 1(3)(e) of the Tax Credits Act 2002 (c. 21) and of section 60 of, and Schedule 6 to, that Act, insofar as they bring into force the repeal of the provisions of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (c. 4) and the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (c. 5) (“the Administration Act”) which are specified in the Schedule to this Order and which relate to the payment of certain increases in respect of children in certain contributory benefits.

Article 3 saves the repealed provisions in certain circumstances. Article 4 makes transitional provision relating to entitlement to widowed mother’s allowance and widowed parent’s allowance for saved cases and article 5 makes transitional provision relating to the setting of the rates for those increases that continue to be paid pursuant to the savings provision.

This Order does not impose a charge on business.
