## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Welfare Food Regulations 1996 (the principal Regulations).
Regulations 2, 3(1), (2), (3), (5) and (6) and 4 remove references to family credit in regulations 2, 7 and 8 of the principal Regulations, as family credit is no longer in existence.
Regulation 3(3) also amends regulation 7(1)(c) of the principal Regulations to increase the price payable for dried milk by a person entitled to purchase it at a reduced price, from £3.90 to £4.05 for 900 grammes per week.
Regulation 3(4) makes a minor drafting amendment to regulation 7(1A) of the principal Regulations, to ensure that any reference in those Regulations to entitlement to working families' tax credit means entitlement only if the appropriate maximum is not reduced beyond the amount specified; and increases from £70 to £71 the amount of any reduction in the appropriate maximum which may not to be exceeded if a person is to be regarded as entitled to working families' tax credit for the purposes of regulation 7.
