Explanatory Note

This note is not part of the amendment, but is intended to indicate its general effect.

This amendment, which comes into effect on 1 April 2003, revokes two expired paragraphs of Clause 6 of the Schedule of the Direction in relation to Special Benefit. It also amends that Schedule (which relates to standard costs) to take into account a CPI increase of 2.72%. Due to error, clause 17 of that Schedule was not amended in 2002, and has therefore been increased by both the 2002 CPI increase of 1.82% and the 2003 CPI increase.
