(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Social Fund (Cold Weather Payments) (General) Regulations 1988 No. 1724 by increasing with effect from 1st November 1994 the prescribed amount payable in respect of each period of cold weather from £6 to £7. They amend Schedule 1 to those Regulations making changes to the areas linked to national climatological message stations by way of Post Office postcodes and also make additions to Table 1 of Schedule 2 to those Regulations which identifies postcode areas by reference to maps produced by Datamaps Ltd.
A person may establish the current postcode for his address by contacting any post office.
These Regulations do not impose a charge upon businesses.
1992 c. 4; section 138(4) is an interpretation provision and is cited because of the meaning assigned to the word "prescribed".
See section 173(1)(b) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (c. 5).
The entries in Table 1 of Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations are in respect of Post Office postcode areas which do not appear in the Postcode Atlas of Great Britain and Northern Ireland but are shown on maps published by Datamaps Ltd of Unit 1, 13 Wembley Conference Centre, East Lane, Wembley, Middlesex HA9 7XX from whom copies may be obtained.
