The Tax Credits (New Deal Consequential Amendments) (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2001
These Regulations amend the Family Credit (General) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 (S.R. 1987 No. 463) and the Disability Working Allowance (General) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1992 (S.R. 1992 No. 78). The amendments are in consequence of the introduction by the Government from April 2001 of two new employment programmes known as the “Preparation for Employment Programme” (for persons aged between 25 and 50 years) and the “Preparation for Employment Programme for 50 plus” (for persons aged over 50).
