Commentary on Sections

Section 18: Certain orders and regulations in respect of Northern Ireland

157.Subsection (1) provides for the amendment of section 172 of the SSCB(NI)A 1992.

158.Subsection (2) corrects a reference to "subsection (9)" that should be to "subsection (10)".

159.Subsection (3) provides for the use of the negative resolution procedure when making regulations under section 117 of the SSCB(NI)A 1992 that are consequential upon section 142(7) of the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 (SSA(NI)A ). This subsection also applies the negative resolution procedure to certain consolidating regulations and to regulations which replace provisions of previous regulations with new provisions to the same effect. This brings the position in line with the equivalent provision in the SSCBA 1992.

160.Subsection (4) provides for the amendment of section 165 of the SSA(NI)A. Subsections (5) and (6) insert "the Secretary of State" into section 165(1) and (3) of the SSA(NI)A to make it clear that instruments made under the SSA(NI)A by the Secretary of State are to be made by statutory rules.

161.Subsection (7) provides that the amendments made by this section come into force two months from the day the Act is passed.
