Whereas arrangements known as "the New Deal" have been made by the Secretary of State under section 2 of the Employment and Training Act 1973[1] ("the 1973 Act"):
And whereas the Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by section 26(1) and (2) of the Employment Act 1988[2] and all other powers enabling him in that behalf, made the New Deal (Miscellaneous Provisions) Order 1998[3] ("the principal Order") affecting the treatment of payments received by participants in the programmes within the New Deal known as "the Full-time Education and Training Option", "the Voluntary Sector Option" and "the Environment Task Force Option" using facilities under the arrangements:
And whereas the New Deal includes, in addition to "the Full-time Education and Training Option", "the Voluntary Sector Option" and "the Environment Task Force Option", a programme of employment or employment related training known as "the Employment Option":
And whereas it appears to the Secretary of State that the Employment Option makes provision for persons using facilities provided in pursuance of them to receive payments in connection with their use of those facilities:
