The Education (Grant) (Amendment) Regulations 1991
Regulation 8 of the Education (Grant) Regulations 1990 empowers the Secretary of State to pay grants to the governing bodies of the further and higher education institutions to which regulation 7 of those Regulations applies. Paragraph (3)(d) of regulation 7 provides that that regulation shall not apply in relation to institutions within the PCFC funding sector. These Regulations amend those 1990 Regulations so that this exclusion does not extend to institutions in Wales conducted by higher education corporations (which, although within the PCFC funding sector as defined in section 132(6) of the Education Reform Act 1988, are not, unlike institutions in England, eligible to receive grants from the PCFC for expenditure incurred in providing courses of higher education). Accordingly, with effect from the coming into force of these Regulations, such an institution in Wales will be eligible for grant under regulation 8 of the 1990 Regulations.
