The amendments made by these Regulations correct errors in the 2014 Regulations and make further provision in the 2018 Regulations about the eligibility of certain Irish citizens to receive student support.

The Welsh Ministers’ Regulatory Impact Assessment Code for Subordinate Legislation has been considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
