These Regulations amend the Welfare Food Regulations 1988 (the 1988 Regulations).

Regulation 2 increases the price of dried milk to be paid by those entitled to purchase it under regulation 5 of the 1988 Regulations from £2.55 to £2.70. The increase is consequent on the annual up-rating of benefits under section 63 of the Social Security Act 1986 (c. 50).

Regulation 3 amends regulation 6 of the 1988 Regulations so as to allow milk obtained for a child under 30 weeks old being suckled by its mother, to be consumed by the mother.

Regulation 4 adds two additional brands of dried milk to the list of dried milks specified for the purposes of the 1988 Regulations.
