30.4.3 1971 Act - 'prescribed' persons and children for S45 and 46 purposes

The 1971 Act's identification of 'prescribed persons' and children to whom Ss45 and 46 of that Act applies, is virtually identical in content to the scheme used by the SRCA.

• i.e. the defining provisions from the 1971 Act were re-used by the SRCA for the purposes of S19 (minimum payments at statutory rates) and S17 (death benefits) of that Act.

Therefore, in determining the identity and number of prescribed persons/children for the purposes of the 1971 Act, delegates should adopt the guidance (although relating primarily to SRCA minimum payments cases) at sections 36.2 to 36.6.
