# The Welfare Foods (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations further amend the Welfare Foods Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1988 (the principal Regulations).
Regulations 2, 3(1), (2), (4), and (5) and 4 remove references to family credit in regulations 1, 4 and 9 of the principal Regulations, as family credit is no longer in existence.
Regulation 3(2)(c) also amends regulation 4(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 per 900 grams per week.
Regulation 3(3) amends regulation 4(1A) of the principal Regulations. It increases from £70 to £71 the amount of any reduction in the appropriate maximum which may not be exceeded if a person is to be regarded as entitled to working families' tax credit for the purposes of regulation 4(1).
