Explanatory note

(The note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations enable the Secretary of State to pay recurrent and non-recurrent grants to the managers of special schools in Scotland. The conditions subject to which the grants may be paid are set out (regulations 5 and 6) as are the requirements relating to the grants (regulations 7 and 8).

The Regulations which previously empowered the Secretary of State to pay grants to residential special schools are revoked by these Regulations (regulation 9).
