1 Statutes and Ordinances, p. 159. By Grace 1 of 14 June 2006 fees for undergraduate students from the Channel Islands and Isle of Man for 2006-07 were approved. It is regretted that through an oversight it was not made clear that these fees were for continuing students only and the proposed fees for students from the Channel Islands and Isle of Man who started a relevant course with effect from 1 September 2006 and had not deferred entry to that course from an earlier year were not published. The fees now proposed reflect the rates agreed between Universities UK and the authorities of the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man for such students. The Council have agreed that they will consider representations on behalf of any student who is disadvantaged as a result of the late publication of these fees.
2 Statutes and Ordinances, p. 121. The regulation has been amended following the suppression of the office of Treasurer.
3 Statute and Ordinances, p. 788. The Managers of the Fund, with the concurrence of the donor, have proposed that the existing provision that one award each year should be open only to persons who are citizens of the United States of America be relaxed: in recent years few applications from that country have been received.
4 Statutes and Ordinances, p. 845. The Managers of the Fund have proposed that more time should be given to candidates to prepare their statements of the purpose and plan of their proposed travel.
