Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the Student Fees (Qualifying Courses and Persons) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007 (S.R. 2007, No. 328, “the principal Regulations”).

Regulation 4 amends the definition of “family member” in the Schedule to correspond with the amendment to the Education (Student Support) (No. 2) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 which was made by the Education (Student Support) (No. 2) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. This amendment replaces the reference to “child” with one that refers to direct descendants of the person or of the person’s spouse or civil partner who are under the age of 21 or dependants of the person or the person’s spouse or civil partner.

An impact assessment has not been prepared in respect of this instrument as it has no impact on the cost of business, charities or voluntary bodies.
