Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Family Credit (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1973) and the Disability Working Allowance (General) Regulations 1991 (S.I. 1991/2887). The amendments are in consequence of the introduction by the Government from April 2001 of two new employment programmes known as the “Intensive Activity Period” (for persons aged between 25 and 50 years) and the “Intensive Activity Period for 50 plus” (for persons aged over 50).
