The Secretary of State for Education, in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 1 and 4(2) of the Education Act 1962^[1] hereby makes the following Regulations:

    2.    The Education (Mandatory Awards) Regulations 1993^[2] ("the 1993 Regulations") and the Education (Mandatory Awards)(No 2) Regulations 1993^[3] ("the 1993 No 2 Regulations" are amended as follows.

    3.    In regulation 9(1)(a) of the 1993 No 2 Regulations the words "as extended" are substituted for the words "as given effect".

    4.    In regulation 23(2)(a) of both the 1993 Regulations and the 1993 No 2 Regulations the bracket following "1962" is deleted and a bracket is inserted after the words "attends his course".

Secretary of State for Education

16th June 1994

These Regulations amend the Education (Mandatory Awards) Regulations 1993 and the Education (Mandatory Awards)(No 2) Regulations 1993, and make provision to adjust entitlement under the Education (Mandatory Awards) Regulations 1992.

The reference to the European Economic Area Agreement in regulation 9 of the 1993 No 2 Regulations has been amended to make it clear that the Regulations refer to Council Regulation (EEC) 1612/68 as extended by the Agreement, not only to the Regulation to the extent that it has been given effect by the Agreement (regulation 3).

Regulation 23(2)(a) of the 1993 Regulations and of the 1993 No 2 Regulations are amended to correct a typographical error, and provision is made to adjust entitlement under the 1992 Regulations, which were affected by the same error. Payments under the Education (Student Loans) Act 1990 and access funds are to be disregarded in determining the amount of payments as are mentioned in regulation 23(2) (regulations 4 and 6).

Regulation 26(4)(b) of the 1993 Regulations and of the 1993 No 2 Regulations are amended so that the appropriate proportion of the amount of maintenance payable in a year can be calculated without reference to the balance remaining payable when the calculation can be first made (regulation 5).

[1] 1962 c. 12; the relevant provisions, as amended, are set out in Schedule 5 to the Education Act 1980 (c. 20); section 1(3)(d) was amended by the Education (Grants and Awards) Act 1984 (c. 11), section 4. back

[2] S.I. 1993/1850, amended by S.I. 1993/3183. back
