This Order, made under the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46), provides for a function of a Minister of the Crown, so far as it is exercisable in or as regards Scotland, to be exercisable by the Scottish Ministers instead. The function to be transferred concerns the setting of the limit on the total amount of expenditure that may be incurred by a local authority in making discretionary housing payments.
Article 2 transfers, from the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions to the Scottish Ministers, the function of making an order under section 70(3)(a) of the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000 (c.19) (so far as that function is exercisable in or as regards Scotland). That transfer only applies in relation to the financial year 2014/15 and subsequent years.
Article 3 provides for the general modification of enactments in connection with provision made by this Order. Article 4 provides for the procedure which applies to orders made by the Scottish Ministers by virtue of the transfer. Article 5 makes transitional and saving provisions.
