EXPLANATORY NOTE

EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Social Fund Cold Weather Payments (General) Regulations 1988 (SI 1988/1724) in relation to the lists of weather stations and applicable postcode districts in Schedules 1 and 2 to those Regulations.

Regulation 2 replaces Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations with Schedule 1 to these Regulations. The new Schedule largely re-enacts the list contained in the former Schedule, but it also replaces six weather stations, adds six new weather stations to the scheme, and provides for certain other changes to the postcode and weather station linkages.

Regulation 3 replaces Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations, with Schedule 2 to these Regulations. This substitution takes into account the fact that one of the specified alternative weather stations from the previous Schedule is no longer required as an alternative weather station, and one new alternative weather station is required due to the replacement of one of the stations from Schedule 1 for this winter's scheme.

The Postcode Atlas of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the postcode maps may be obtained from their publishers. A person may establish the current postcode for their address by contacting the Royal Mail Postcode Enquiries Office (telephone. 08457 111222) or by logging on to the Royal Mail website at www.royalmail.com.

These Regulations do not impose a charge on business.
