When the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments considered the Social Security (Lone Parents) (Amendment) Regulations 1997 (S.I. 1997/1790); and what was the result of that consideration.

§ The Lord Privy Seal (Lord Richard)
The Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments is a technical scrutiny committee which does not consider the merits or policy of statutory instruments.

The committee did not draw the special attention of either House to the regulations.
