Social Fund (Maternity and Funeral Expenses) Act 1987
In section 32(2)(a) of the Social Security Act 1986 the words "of prescribed amounts, whether in respect of prescribed items or otherwise," shall be inserted before "to meet".
This Act may be cited as the Social Fund (Maternity and Funeral Expenses) Act 1987.
An Order in Council under paragraph 1(1)(b) of Schedule 1 to the Northern Ireland Act 1974 (legislation for Northern Ireland in the interim period) which states that it is made only for purposes corresponding to those of this Act—
shall not be subject to paragraph 1(4) and (5) of that Schedule (affirmative resolution of both Houses of Parliament); but
shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House.
Subsections (1) and (2) above extend to Northern Ireland, but this Act does not otherwise so extend.
