  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations further amend the Education (Assisted Places) (Incidental Expenses) Regulations 1997 (“the 1997 Regulations”) in relation to England and in respect of a school year beginning on or after 1st September 2001. The 1997 Regulations provide for the payment of grants as regards incidental expenses, and for the remission of incidental expenses, in respect of pupils eligible to continue to hold assisted places by virtue of section 2 of the Education (Schools) Act 1997, notwithstanding the abolition of the assisted places scheme by section 1 of that Act.\nThese Regulations relax the means test (set out in regulation 2 of the 1997 Regulations) and increase the amount of grant payable for uniform grant in respect of clothing expenditure incurred in relation to the 2001/2002 and subsequent school years. £73 (rather than £71 as previously) is payable where the relevant income does not exceed £11,116 (rather than £10,901 as previously), £38 (rather than £37 as previously) is payable where the relevant income exceeds that figure but does not exceed £11,952 (rather than £11,718 as previously).\nThese Regulations also relax the means test (set out in regulation 4 of the 1997 regulations) for travel grant and increase the amount of grant payable.\nThese Regulations also broaden the list of approved subjects (by adding archaeology), and update the list of existing examinations to include the GCE Advanced Subsidiary Level and the Advanced Vocational Certificate of Education.",
