REPORT OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE MADE UNDER SECTION 174(2) OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION ACT 1992 ON THE JOBSEEKER’S ALLOWANCE (MANDATORY WORK ACTIVITY) REGULATIONS 2011

I enclose the Committee’s report on the above regulations to be forwarded to the Secretary of State. You will see that a section of the report has been left blank for you to insert the Department’s EM and associated draft regulations as Appendix 1.  If the regulations are laid, a copy of the report should also be laid before Parliament as an Act Paper, in accordance with Section 174(2) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992, together with a statement, as in Sections 174(2)(a) and (b).  I would be grateful if you could ensure that we receive six copies of the Act Paper and of the associated Statutory Instrument, for distribution to Committee Members and to those who responded to the consultation. At the same time, please make arrangements with TSO for the Act Paper to  be published electronically (we shall  then be able to include a link from our website ‘library’ of published reports to the TSO website).
