(This note is not part of the Regulations)
This instrument contains only regulations made by virtue of sections 2 and 4 of the Employment Act 2002, which came into force on 8th December 2002. 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 by section 173(5)(b) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 from the requirement under section 172 of that Act to refer the proposals to make the regulations to the Social Security Advisory Committee and they are made without reference to the Committee.
These Regulations, made under provisions inserted into the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 by the Employment Act 2002, apply Parts 12ZA and 12ZB of that Act, as modified by these Regulations, to adoptions from overseas, which are adoptions of children who enter Great Britain from outside the United Kingdom in connection with or for the purposes of adoption which does not involve the placement of a child for adoption under the law of any part of the United Kingdom. The Regulations relating to statutory paternity pay and statutory adoption pay in connection with adoptions from overseas are the Statutory Paternity Pay (Adoption) and Statutory Adoption Pay (Adoptions from Overseas) Regulations 2003 (SI 2003/500).
