These Regulations amend the Education (Grants for Education Support and Training) (Wales) Regulations 1997.

They add a new purpose (item 21 in the Schedule) for which grant is payable at a rate of 100% of approved expenditure and remove, in relation to grant paid in respect of such expenditure, the restriction contained in regulation 6(4) that the immediate payment of grant in the last period of the financial year cannot exceed 75% of the grant applied for.
