(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which come into force on 1st August 2003, amend the Education (Student Loans) Regulations 1998 governing loans made under the Education (Student Loans) Act 1990. These are mortgage style repayment loans made, for the most part, to students who began their courses before 1st August 1998.
These Regulations increase the maximum amounts which may be lent to students in relation to an academic year in line with inflation (regulation 3).

The saving provisions include provision for making subordinate legislation after the date of the repeal. The Secretary of State's functions under the Education (Student Loans) Act 1990 were transferred, in or as regards Scotland, to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46), read with article 3 of and paragraph 11 of Schedule 1 to the Scotland Act 1998 (Functions Exercisable in or as Regards Scotland) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1748).back
