Coming into force

Whereas a draft of these Regulations was laid before Parliament in accordance with section 37(2) of the Jobseekers Act 1995(1) and approved by resolution of each House of Parliament;
Now, therefore, the Secretary of State for Education and Employment, in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 19(8)(b) and (10)(c), 20(4) and (6), 29(1), (3) and (6)(a), 35, 36(4) and 40 of the Jobseekers Act 1995, and of all other powers enabling her in that behalf, after agreement by the Social Security Advisory Committee that proposals in respect of these Regulations should not be referred to it(2) and whereas these Regulations are made with a view to ascertaining whether their provisions will, or will be likely to, encourage persons to obtain work or will, or will be likely to, facilitate the obtaining by persons of work, hereby makes the following Regulations:
1.-(1) These Regulations may be cited as the Jobseeker's Allowance (Pilot Scheme) (Amendment) Regulations 1996 and shall come into force on 7th October 1996.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Jobseeker's Allowance (Pilot Scheme) Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/1307) by adding an office to those listed in the Schedule. This has the effect that persons who are required to attend that office may fall within the application of the Jobseeker's Allowance (Pilot Scheme) Regulations 1996, and may thus, subject to certain exceptions, receive a sanction in accordance with section 19 of the Jobseekers Act and the Jobseeker's Allowance Regulations (S.I. 1996/207) if they fail to participate in the employment programme known as Project Work.
These Regulations do not impose a charge on businesses.
