  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations consolidate, with amendments, the Education (Assisted Places) (Incidental Expenses) Regulations 1989 which, with regulations amending them, are revoked by regulation 16(1). They come into force on 25th August 1995 and apply in relation to a school year beginning on or after that date (regulation 1). Changes of substances are described below.\nThe Regulations complement the Education (Assisted Places) Regulations 1995 (“the principal Regulations”). They relate to the incidental expenses of pupils holding assisted places at schools by virtue of the scheme established pursuant to section 17 of the Education Act 1980, and provide for: grants towards expenditure on uniform and other clothing, and home to school travel; and the remission of charges for meals and field study courses.\nThe amount of grant is subject to a means test, the provisions for which have been amended. The limit of “relevant income” (as defined in the principal Regulations) for payment of uniform grant in the first year is raised from £10,462 to £10,713 with corresponding increases in the maximum amounts of grant payable where relevant income is below that figure (regulation 3).\nTravel grant is payable in full where the relevant income does not exceed £9,585 (formerly £9,365) and at reduced rates where the relevant income exceeds that figure (regulation 5).\nCharges for meals are remitted in full where the parents of an assisted pupil are in receipt of income support (regulation 10).\nCharges for field study courses are remitted in full where the parents of an assisted pupil are entitled to any remission of fees under regulation 15 of the principal Regulations (regulation 11).\nThe Secretary of State is required by regulation 14 to reimburse schools for the grants made and charges remitted under these Regulations or the Regulations revoked by regulation 16(1).",
