  "text": "These Regulations amend the State Awards Regulations 1978.\nRegulation 9(2) of the Regulations of 1978 provides, in general, that the maximum duration of a state award shall be 3 years but, in the case of a person who has previously held a postgraduate award under the Education Act 1962 (or a comparable award paid out of moneys provided by Parliament), this maximum period is reduced by the period for which he held his previous award. Regulation 3 of the present Regulations provides that, in the case of a state award tenable at the European University Institute, the maximum duration shall be 3 years whether or not the person concerned has previously held a postgraduate award.\nRegulation 4 of the present Regulations makes express provision for the making of payments on account of a state award by instalments, for the making of provisional payments and for the adjustment of overpayments or underpayments which may arise.",
