- 1. In the lower table incomes and contributions have been repriced according to the value of the Retail Price Index at September of the relevant year. Inflation to September 1985 is assumed to be 4.5 per cent.
- 2. In practice, contributions at the top of the scales would be limited by a student's maintenance requirements less any minimum award payable.
