(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Social Security (Crediting and Treatment of Contributions, and National Insurance Numbers) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/769) ("the 2001 Regulations"). The amendments are consequential on the coming into force of the Immigration (Restrictions on Employment) Order 2007 (S.I. 2007/3290) ("the 2007 Order"). The 2007 Order replaces the Immigration (Restrictions on Employment) Order 2004 (S.I. 2004/755) which listed the documents required to accompany an application for a national insurance number ("NINO") to be allocated under regulation 9(1A) of the 2001 Regulations.
Regulation 2(3) renumbers the Schedule to the 2001 Regulations.
Regulation 2(5) inserts Schedule 1 which lists the documents specified in the 2007 Order which shall accompany an application for a NINO to be allocated.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the private or voluntary sectors.
