12.—(1) The standard rate is the average mortgage rate published by the Bank of England which, immediately before this Schedule comes into operation, has effect for the purposes of paragraph 12 of Schedule 3 to the Income Support (General) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 M1 (which makes provision as to the standard rate to be used in determining amounts applicable to a claimant in respect of income support).
(2) The standard rate is to be varied each time that sub-paragraph (3) applies.
(3) This sub-paragraph applies when, on any reference day, the Bank of England publishes an average mortgage rate which differs by 0.5 percentage points or more from the standard rate that applies on that reference day (whether it applies by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) or by virtue of a previous application of this sub-paragraph).
(4) The average mortgage rate published on that reference day then becomes the new standard rate in accordance with sub-paragraph (5).
(5) Any variation in the standard rate by virtue of sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) comes into effect—
(a)for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3), the day after the reference day referred to in sub-paragraph (4);
(b)for the purpose of calculating the amount of the housing costs element to be included under this Schedule in an owner-occupier's award, on the day specified by the Department for that purpose.
(6) At least 7 days before a variation of the standard rate comes into effect under sub-paragraph (5)(b), the Department must arrange for notice to be published on a publicly accessible website of—
(a)the new standard rate; and
(b)the day specified in relation to that rate under sub-paragraph (5)(b).
