Tax Credits Act 2002 Schedule 3 paragraph 19

Amendment to Children Act 1989 section 104 — regulations and orders

Paragraph 19 of Schedule 3 amends the Children Act 1989 to add the Treasury to the list of authorities with power to make regulations and orders under that Act.

• This is a consequential amendment to section 104 of the Children Act 1989, which governs the making of regulations and orders under that Act.
• The amendment inserts a reference to "the Treasury" alongside the existing reference to the Lord Chancellor.
• This ensures that where the Tax Credits Act 2002 confers regulation-making powers connected with the Children Act 1989, the Treasury has the necessary authority to exercise those powers.
• The change reflects the Treasury's role in administering tax credits and the interaction between tax credits and provisions of the Children Act 1989.
