Regulation 5

For sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) of paragraph 8 of the Aided Pupil Scheme (references to income) there shall be substituted the following paragraphs—

“(3)

Subject to sub-paragraph (4), the relevant income, calculated as aforesaid, shall be reduced by £1,105 in respect of each person other than the aided pupil who—

(a)

at the time the relevant income is calculated, is wholly or mainly dependent on the parents or on payments made to him or for his benefit by one or both of them, and

(b)

is a child or other relative of one or both of the parents:

• Provided that, for the purposes of sub-paragraph (a), there shall be disregarded payments, other than sums paid as mentioned in paragraph 3(f) of the Appendix hereto, which fall to be deducted in ascertaining total income for income tax purposes and, accordingly, are taken into account in calculating relevant income in pursuance of sub-paragraph (1).

(4)

Where a child (other than the aided pupil) who is wholly or mainly dependent on the parents or payments made to him or for his benefit by one or both of them is the holder of an award of a kind described in sub-paragraph (5) and there has been deducted, in calculating the amount of that award, a sum exceeding £1,105 in respect of the parental contribution which is assumed to be available as part of the resources of that child, that sum shall be deducted from the relevant income in lieu of the £1,105 prescribed in respect of that child by sub-paragraph (3).”
