Explanatory note

These Regulations provide for the payment of grant by the Secretary of State to local education authorities and to the governing bodies of former grant-maintained or grant-maintained special schools or proposed such schools, in each case in England, in respect of expenditure incurred or to be incurred in relation to those schools.

The Regulations define the particular expenditure in respect of which grant may be paid.

The Regulations enable the Secretary of State to impose conditions to be complied with by the governing bodies of schools to whom payment of grant is made.
