(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend regulation 8 of the Education Maintenance Allowance (Pilot Areas) Regulations 1999.
Apart from correcting a drafting error the regulations change the provisions which apply for payment of a weekly allowance where a week falls partly outside the term of an institution. Under such circumstances a weekly allowance may be paid if the student has undertaken at least 12 guided learning hours in that week.
1996 c. 56; section 518 was substituted by section 129 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (c. 31). By virtue of S.I. 1999/672 the powers conferred by this section are exercisable by the Secretary of State only in relation to England.
S.I. 1999/2168.
