These Regulations amend the Education (Grants etc.) (Dance and Drama) (England) Regulations 2001.

Regulation 3 corrects a drafting error in regulation 3 of the principal Regulations.

Regulation 4 amends regulation 7 of the principal Regulations to provide that the rate of grant payable per award student shown in Schedule 2 is a minimum rate and to provide that the maximum fee which may be charged to an award student is increased from £1,075 to £1,100.
