Regulation 18 amends the definition of “person with leave to enter or remain” in the Schedule to the Fees Regulations. This amended definition extends the categories of person to whom higher ('overseas') tuition fees may not be charged by including persons who have been granted discretionary leave (and their spouses, civil partners and children), whether or not those persons have been the subject of a failed asylum application.
