And whereas it appears to the Secretary of State that Community Action makes provision for persons using facilities provided in pursuance of those arrangements to receive payments in connection with their use of those facilities:

Now, therefore, the Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by section 26(1)(a), (c) and (d) and (2) of the Employment Act 1988^[2] and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf, hereby makes the following Order:

Citation and commencement

Treatment of persons and payments for purposes of the subordinate legislation specified in the Schedule
    2.    For the purposes of the subordinate legislation specified in the Schedule to this Order a person using facilities provided under Community Action shall be treated as not being employed but as participating in arrangements for training under section 2 of the 1973 Act and, accordingly, any payment made to such a person in connection with his use of those facilities shall be treated in the same manner as a payment made in respect of such training.

Treatment of payments for purposes of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992
