Explanatory note

These Regulations correct defects in the Education (Schools Conducted by Education Associations) Regulations 1993, as amended by the Education (Schools Conducted by Education Associations) (Amendment) Regulations 1994, and in the Education (Special Schools Conducted by Education Associations) Regulations 1994, as amended by the Education (Special Schools Conducted by Education Associations) (Amendment) Regulations 1994. They remove from the powers conferred on an education association named in an order made under section 220 of the Education Act 1993 by Schedule 4 to that Act (which concerns the exercise of powers by the education association before the transfer date) the powers in paragraph 2 of that Schedule to enter into contracts and to acquire and dispose of property. Equivalent powers are conferred on education associations by paragraph 1 of Schedule 12 to the 1993 Act.
