Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Training for Work (Miscellaneous Provisions) Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/1780) to take account of a change in the name given to the arrangements formerly known as Training for Work to work based training for adults.
The Training for Work (Miscellaneous Provisions) Order 1995 provides that, for the purposes of Part I of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (c. 4) and the Jobseekers Act 1995 (c. 18) and of the subordinate legislations specified in the Schedule to the Order,
(a)a person using facilities provided under those arrangements and receiving training allowances in connection with the use of the facilities shall be treated as participating in arrangements for training under section 2 of the Employment and Training Act 1973 (c. 50). 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; and
(b)a person using facilities under the arrangements and receiving remuneration from an employer instead of training allowances in connection with the use of the facilities shall be treated as employed by that employer. Any payment made to such a person by the employer in connection with his use of those facilities shall be treated as earnings.
This Order, where it applies (see Article 1(2)), substitutes the name “work based training for adults” for “Training for Work”. Where it applies it also substitutes a new Schedule for the Schedule to the 1995 Order.
