Regulation 9 Conditions for payment of grant

Where an authority incurs expenditure on training in a national priority area in excess of the maximum notified for that area under regulation 7(1)(a), then, if that authority has incurred, on training in such other national priority areas as may be determined by the Secretary of State for this purpose before or at the time of making such notification, expenditure less than the maximum so notified, grant on that excess expenditure shall be payable at the higher rate up to the aggregate amount of the shortfall of expenditure in those other areas, subject to a limit in respect of each other area of 10% of the maximum amount so notified for that area.

Any expenditure incurred by an authority on training in a national priority area not eligible for grant at the higher rate under regulation 8(1) or paragraph (1) shall be eligible for grant at the lower rate to the extent that the expenditure can be accommodated within the maximum notified under regulation 7(1)(b).
