Power to make orders under section 216(2) is devolved to Wales by virtue of the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions Order) 1999 (S.I. 1999/672) and to Scotland by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46).

Recognised bodies are universities, colleges or other bodies which are authorised by Royal Charter or by or under Act of Parliament to grant degrees and other bodies for the time being permitted by these bodies to act on their behalf in the granting of degrees.

Such degrees are "recognised awards" and section 214(1) of the Act, which makes it an offence to grant or issue any invitation relating to certain unrecognised degrees and awards, does not apply to them.

The Order updates and replaces the list of bodies contained in the Education (Listed Bodies) Order 1999 which is revoked. It omits a number of institutions previously within the list, which have been authorised to award degrees under section 76 of the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 (c.13) and under section 48 of the Further and Higher Education (Scotland) Act 1992 (c.37) and are now listed in the Education (Recognised Bodies) (England) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/3327[a]).

The Secretary of State's functions were transferred, in or as regards Scotland, to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46).back
