Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend Schedule 3 to the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1967), as substituted and amended, with respect to the standard rate of interest applicable to a loan which qualifies for income support under that Schedule to those Regulations. The new rate is 7.97 per cent. (regulation 2). The Regulations also revoke, with a saving provision, regulations which made a previous amendment to that standard rate of interest (regulation 3).
These Regulations do not impose a charge upon businesses.
