Explanatory note

These Regulations make provision for the allowances which may be paid to governors and non-governor members of committees by the governing bodies of schools maintained by local education authorities which have delegated budgets.

In the case of schools without delegated budgets the payment of such allowances is to be in accordance with a scheme made by the local education authority.

The Regulations also make provision, for the purposes of section 519 of the Education Act 1996, for the payment by local education authorities of allowances to governors of any institution providing higher or further education which is maintained by a local education authority, or to persons appointed to represent them on the governing body of such an institution which is not maintained by them, or on the governing body of an independent school or a non-maintained special school.
