The War Pensions Committees Regulations 2000
These Regulations make changes to the constitution and functions of war pensions committees. Such committees were established by regulations pursuant to section 25 of the Social Security Act 1989. Existing committees are abolished and new ones set up. Except in the case of Northern Ireland (for which there continues to be one committee), the new committees generally cover larger areas, and they are fewer in number. There is one committee for Wales (regulation 4), one for Northern Ireland (regulation 5) and two for Scotland (regulation 6). Nine regional committees are set up for England (regulation 3 and Schedule 1).
