These Regulations amend the Education (Grants for Education Support and Training) (Wales) Regulations 1998 (“the 1998 Regulations”).
They add two new purposes (paragraphs 27 and 28 of the Schedule to the 1998 Regulations) for which grant is payable at 100% of approved expenditure. They also remove the restriction contained in regulation 6(4), concerning payment of grant in the last period of the financial year, in relation not only to approved expenditure of the kind referred to in the new paragraphs 27 and 28 of the Schedule to the 1998 Regulations but also in relation to approved expenditure of the kind referred to in paragraph 13 of that Schedule (action to reduce the size of infant classes).
