The Regulations contained in this Instrument are made either by virtue of, or in consequence of, provisions in the Jobseekers Act 1995 (c.18) (“the 1995 Act"). The instrument is made before the end of the period of 6 months beginning with the coming into force of those provisions; the regulations in it are therefore exempted from the requirement in section 172(1) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (c.5) to refer proposals to make these Regulations to the Social Security Advisory Committee and are made without reference to that Committee.
