The Education (Student Loans for Tuition Fees) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2007
These Regulations make amendments to the Education (Student Loans for Tuition Fees) (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Regulation 2 inserts new provisions allowing the Scottish Ministers to impose a condition on a student to provide them with that student’s United Kingdom national insurance number. The amendment in regulation 3, enables the Scottish Ministers to request an applicant or eligible student to enter into a repayment agreement, to verify the national insurance number and request sight of the identity card, passport or birth certificate of an applicant or eligible student and to withhold payment of the loan until all information requests have been satisfied or any repayment agreement completed.
