Country/Territory United Kingdom Document type Regulation Date 2003 Source FAO, FAOLEX Subject Food & nutrition Keyword Food security Breastfeeding/infant food Nutrition Geographical area Atlantic Ocean Islands, Europe, Europe and Central Asia, North Atlantic, North Sea, North-East Atlantic, Northern Europe Entry into force notes Coming into force on 6 October 2003. Abstract Regulation 2 inserts a definition of the Board, as it is the Board who makes decisions about tax credit, and inserts a definition of guarantee credit. It also deletes references to Health Authorities, as Health Authorities no longer exist. Regulation 3 amends regulation 3(2)(a) and (b) (entitlement to free milk) of the principal Regulations. Pregnant partners of persons entitled to the guarantee credit element of state pension credit will be entitled to free milk for personal consumption. Entitlement will be removed for those children in families where the person or persons to whom an award of child tax credit is made is entitled to working tax credit. The entitlement of certain children is similarly curtailed in regulation 4 of the principal Regulations. Similar amendments to the two bases of entitlement are made to regulation 5 (entitlement to free vitamins) in respect of entitlement to free vitamins. In addition, regulation 5(2) inserts a new paragraph 5(2)(aa) which grants vitamins to a mother who is breast-feeding her child under the age of one year who is, or is a member of the family of a person who is entitled to child tax credit and meets the stipulated conditions.
