These Regulations give effect in Northern Ireland to amendments made to reciprocal arrangements relating to matters for which provision is made by the Child Support (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 (“the Order”) and, in Great Britain, by the Child Support Act 1991 (“the 1991 Act”). The amendments to the arrangements are largely consequential upon amendments to the Order made by the Social Security (Northern Ireland) Order 1998 (“the 1998 Order”) and the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act (Northern Ireland) 2000 (“the 2000 Act”), and upon amendments to the 1991 Act made by the Social Security Act 1998 (“the 1998 Act”) and the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000 (“the Great Britain Act”). They make provision for changes in terminology introduced by the 1998 Order, the 1998 Act, the 2000 Act and the Great Britain Act and update certain legislative references.
