Whereas by virtue of section 23 of the Social Security Pensions Act 1975 a direction has been given under section 124 of the Social Security Act 1975 by the Secretary of State for Social Services that the sums mentioned in section 23(1)(b) are to be increased:

Section 59 was amended and section 59A was added by section 11 of the Social Security Act 1979 (c.18).
S.I. 1981/1670.
