Government Response: The Education (Student Fees, Awards and Support) (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2021

Technical Scrutiny point

The reference to paragraph 1(5) is incorrect.  It should refer to paragraph 11(2).  This will be corrected as an amendment in the next available Regulations that are due to be made in May 2022.

Merit Scrutiny point

Welsh Government confirms that the Explanatory Memorandum is incorrect. The Explanatory Memorandum will be re-laid to remove the reference to the enabling power under section 22(2)(d) of the Teaching and Higher Education Act 1982.
