EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order amends the Income-related Benefits (Subsidy to Authorities) Order 1998 (“the principal Order”) which provides for subsidy to be payable to authorities administering housing benefit and council tax benefit. Sections 140C(4) and 140F(2) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 authorise the making, revocation or varying of an Order before, during or after the year to which it relates. The amendments made by this Order have effect from 1st April 2007.

Article 2 amends Schedule 1 to the principal Order. It substitutes the figures to be used in the calculation of subsidy which are outlined in the Schedule to this Order for those in Schedule 1 of the principal Order.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the private or voluntary sectors.
