The Education Standards Grants (Wales) Regulations 2002
Section 484 of the Education Act 1996 enables the National Assembly for Wales to make regulations providing for the payment of grants in respect of expenditure incurred by local education authorities for or in connection with educational purposes which it appears to the National Assembly those authorities should be encouraged to incur in the interests of education in Wales. These Regulations provide for the payment of such grants. They re-enact, with some changes, the Education (Education Standards Grants) (Wales) Regulations 2001. The provisions of the Regulations, and the changes from the earlier Regulations, are outlined below.
