These Regulations amend the Social Security (Maternity Allowance) (Earnings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000 (“the principal Regulations”).
Regulation 2(2) substitutes regulation 5 of the principal Regulations which defines the specified period for the purposes of section 35A(4) and (5) of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992.
Regulation 2(3) substitutes regulation 6(1) of the principal Regulations which allows for a woman’s average weekly amount of specified payments to be determined in respect of earnings made or treated as made in the specified period.
Regulation 3 makes a consequential revocation.
These Regulations make in relation to Northern Ireland only provision corresponding to provision contained in Regulations made by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in relation to Great Britain and accordingly, by virtue of section 149(3) of, and paragraph 10 of Schedule 5 to, the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992, are not subject to the requirement of section 149(2) of that Act for prior reference to the Social Security Advisory Committee.
