EXPLANATORY NOTE. |
||||||||||||||
The Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1961 , raises the means limits for receipt of a qualification certificate under the Unemployment Assistance Acts from £72 16s. and £98 16s. per annum, according to area of residence, to £100 per annum for all areas. This amendment, which will operate from the 1st August, 1961, necessitates consequential amendment of the prescribed form of a qualification certificate so as to bring the statement therein of the conditions to be fulfilled by a person obtaining or holding a qualification certificate into line with the altered position. This Order prescribes the amended form of a qualification certificate. |
