Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations authorise the Secretary of State to pay grants to persons to meet or help to meet expenditure incurred or to be incurred by them in establishing, altering or maintaining a city technology college. Grants are payable in respect of expenditure which is approved by the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State may determine the amounts and timing of payments (regulations 1 and 2).

The Secretary of State may specify conditions to be satisfied before grant is payable (regulation 3).

The Secretary of State may also specify requirements to be complied with by recipients of grant. These may include requirements to repay grant or to pay to the Secretary of State sums representing the value of property acquired with grant and to pay interest on overdue sums (regulation 4).

The Regulations require recipients of grant to keep such records and accounts and to furnish such information, documents, returns and accounts to the Secretary of State as he may require, to open their records and accounts to inspection by the Comptroller and Auditor General and to repay on application by the Secretary of State all or part of grant paid in respect of expenditure to be incurred where the expenditure is not, or not wholly, incurred. The Regulations also provide for inspection by an authorised person of any city technology college or premises in which it is proposed to establish such a college (regulation 5).
