The Financial Assistance Scheme (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2007

Made

Coming into force in accordance with regulation 1(1)

The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 168, 190(1)(a) and (2), 286, 315(2), (4) and (5) and 318(1) and (4)(a) of the Pensions Act 20041.

In accordance with section 316(2)(n) of that Act, a draft of this instrument was laid before Parliament and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament.

With the exception of regulation 7(3), before making these Regulations the Secretary of State consulted such persons as he considered appropriate. Regulation 7(3) was not subject to consultation because it appeared to the Secretary of State that by reason of urgency consultation was inexpedient2.
