The Social Security (Benefits for Widows and Widowers) (Consequential Amendments) Regulations 2000
The regulations contained in this instrument are consequential upon amendments made to the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (c. 4). This instrument is made before the end of the period of 6 months beginning with the coming into force of sections 54 to 56 of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999 (c. 30) on 9th April 2001. The Regulations are therefore exempt, by virtue of section 173(5)(b) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (c. 5), from reference to the Social Security Advisory Committee and have not been so referred.
