St Mary's Music School (Aided Places) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2002 (SSI 2002/248)<br />Education (Assisted Places) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2002<br />(SSI 2002/249)

Item 2 is consideration under negative procedure of SSI 2002/248 and SSI 2002/249. The relevant papers have been circulated to members. I welcome Shirley Anderson, who is from the Scottish Executive schools division.

The purpose of the regulations is to amend the Education (Assisted Places) (Scotland) Regulations 2001 and the St Mary's Music School (Aided Places) (Scotland) Regulations 2001 in order to uprate the qualifying income levels for the remission of fees and charges under the assisted places scheme and the aided places scheme. Full details are available in the Executive's notes. Unless members have strong objections, I invite the committee to agree that it does not wish to make any recommendation in its report to the Parliament on the regulations.

Members indicated agreement.

I thank Shirley Anderson for her attendance.
