These Regulations provide the making of loans to eligible students for postgraduate master's degree courses which begin on or after 1st August 2016 and set out the repayment terms of such a loan. With the exception of regulation 97(1), which applies to Wales, and regulation 97(2), which extends to Northern Ireland, these Regulations apply in relation to England only; however these Regulations extend to all of the United Kingdom in so far as they impose any obligation, or confer any power, on HMRC, an employer or a borrower in relation to repayments under chapters 3 or 4 of Part 2 or on any other person in relation to the retention or production of information or records.
