Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order provides that, henceforward, for the purpose of Part I of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (c. 4) and the subordinate legislation specified in the Schedule to the Order.
(a)a person using facilities provided under the Training for Work programme and receiving training allowances in connection with the use of the facilities shall be treated as participating in arrangements for training under section 2 of the Employment and Training Act 1973 (c. 50). Any payment made to such a person in connection with his use of those facilities shall be treated in the same manner as a payment made in respect of such training; and
(b)a person using facilities provided under the Training for Work programme and receiving remuneration from an employer instead of training allowances in connection with the use of the facilities shall be treated as employed by that employer. Any payment made to such a person by the employer in connection with his use of those facilities shall be treated as earnings.
The Order revokes the Training for Work (Miscellaneous Provisions) Order 1993 (S.I. 1993/348) but provides that the treatment which would have applied under that Order in respect of periods of participation in Training for Work falling before its revocation shall continue to apply in respect of those periods.
