Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These regulations prescribe the form in which evidence of her pregnancy or her expected date of confinement is to be provided by a woman to a person who is liable to pay her statutory maternity pay.
The provisions of the Social Security Act 1986 under which these regulations were made have not yet been in force for 12 months. The regulations are therefore exempt by section 61(5) of the Act of 1986 from reference to the Social Security Advisory Committee and have not been so referred.
