(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke the Education (Assisted Places) (Scotland) Regulations 2001 ("the principal Regulations") and amending instruments. The principal Regulations relate to the scheme for assisted places at independent schools which was required to be established under section 75A of the Education (Scotland) Act 1980 ("the 1980 Act"). Section 5(1) of the Education (Schools) Act 1997 amended section 75A of the 1980 Act with the effect that the assisted places scheme could only be operated in relation to pupils admitted to a place before the 1997-1998 school term until those pupils completed their primary education or, at the Secretary of State's discretion, until the completion of their secondary education. As such, the scheme is no longer in operation in relation to any particular pupil.
1980 c.44. Section 75A was inserted by section 5 of the Education (Scotland) Act 1981 (c.58). Section 75A was relevantly 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.
1972 c.68. Section 2(2) was amended by the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46) ("the 1998 Act") Schedule 8, paragraph 15(3) (which was amended by section 27(4) of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 (c.51) ("the 2006 Act")). Section 2(2) was also amended by section 27(1)(a) of the 2006 Act and by the European Union (Amendment) Act 2008 (c.7), Schedule, Part 1. The functions conferred upon the Minister of the Crown under section 2(2), insofar as within devolved competence, were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the 1998 Act. The partial revocation of S.S.I. 2013/177 is made in exercise of the powers in section 2(2).
