Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend—

to reflect the fact that persons in respect of whom child benefit is payable after their 16th birthday are no longer referred to as children, but as qualifying young persons, by virtue of the Child Benefit Act 2005.

These Regulations make in relation to Northern Ireland only provision corresponding to provision contained in Regulations made by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in relation to Great Britain and accordingly, by virtue of section 149(3) of, and paragraph 10 of Schedule 5 to, the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992, are not subject to the requirement of section 149(2) of that Act for prior reference to the Social Security Advisory Committee.
