Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Individual Learning Account (Scotland) Regulations 2004 so as to increase the income threshold at or below which a person holding an individual learning account may qualify for funding support under ILA Scotland Targeted Arrangements. Under these arrangements individual learning account holders are provided access to a fee support grant up to a maximum amount as may from time to time be determined by the Scottish Ministers, if they satisfy the eligibility criteria laid out in the Individual Learning Account (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (of which the income threshold is one criterion).
