The Social Security (Contributions and Credits) (Transitional and Consequential Provisions) Regulations 1985
These regulations contain provisions which are transitional and consequential on the amendments made to sections 4, 7 and 8 of the Social Security Act 1975 (“the Act”) by the Social Security Act 1985 (“the 1985 Act”). They are either made under section 4(6A) and (6D) of the Act, as inserted by section 7(2) of the 1985 Act, or are made under section 32(6) of the 1985 Act and are consequential on section 7 of that Act. As they are also made earlier than six months from the first day appointed for the coming into force of section 7 (6th October 1985) they are exempted by section 27(8)(b) of the 1985 Act from the requirement under section 10(1) of the Social Security Act 1980 to refer proposals to the Social Security Advisory Committee and are made without reference to that Committee.
