Section 64(1) of the National Assistance Act 1948 contains a definition of “prescribed” relevant to the exercise of the statutory powers under which these Regulations are made. Section 87(4) of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 (c.49) substitutes the term “Secretary of State” for the term “Minister”. The functions of the Secretary of State so far as exercisable within devolved competence were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46).
