      EXPLANATORY NOTE

      (This note is not part of the Regulations)

      These Regulations amend the Education (Assisted Places) (Scotland) Regulations 2001 to uprate the qualifying income levels for the remission of fees and charges and the making of grants under the assisted places scheme.

      The deduction made from relevant income for dependent children and relatives has been increased from £1,430 to £1,463 (regulation 2(a)).

      The level of income at or below which fees are to be wholly remitted is increased from £11,116 to £11,368 with corresponding increases in the extent of remission where the relevant income exceeds that figure (regulation 2(b) and (f)).

      The qualifying income levels for school travel grants and clothing grants are also uprated, with clothing grants being increased by either £2 or £1 (regulation 2(c), (d) and (e)).

      [1] 1980 c.44; sections 75A and 75B were inserted by section 5 of the Education (Scotland) Act 1981 (c.58). Section 75A was amended by the Education (Schools) Act 1997 (c.59), sections 5 and 6 and the Schedule, and by the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (c.31), sections 130 and 140 and Schedule 31. Section 135(1) contains a definition of "prescribed" relevant to the exercise of the statutory powers under which these Regulations are made. The functions of the Secretary of State were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46).back
