John Redwood

Secretary of State for Wales

1st December 1993

These Regulations replace with modifications the Education (Publication of Schemes for Financing Schools) Regulations 1989 which are revoked.

The Regulations extend the requirements for publication by local education authorities of their schemes for financing schools maintained by them by requiring copies to be furnished to the governing body and head teacher of each grant-maintained school in their area and (when the relevant provisions of the Education Act 1993 come into force) each grant-maintained special school established in the authority's area or which, before becoming such a school, was a special school maintained by the authority (regulation 2).

In consequence of the substitution of a new section 35 of the Education Reform Act 1988 by section 274(2) of the Education Act 1993 the Regulations extend the requirement to publish a scheme on the entry into force of a variation made by direction of the Secretary of State to require publication on the entry into force of any revision of a scheme (regulation 3).
