Undergraduate students receive the bursary from their fifth year and graduate entry students from their second.<\/p>

Furthermore, during the most recent discussions the CWGC has indicated a willingness to take over the maintenance work. Section 25 of the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 requires the Secretary of State to report to Parliament every two years on the extent to which fire and rescue authorities are acting in accordance with the Fire and Rescue National Framework, which includes a requirement that authorities publish an annual statement of assurance on financial, governance and operational matters. A copy of that report has been placed in the Library of the House. The regulations governing the Firefighters\u2019 Pension Schemes set out which payments are eligible for annual pension top-up grant claims by fire and rescue authorities and is paid by the Department. The statutory \u2018Guidance for fire and rescue authorities on new financial arrangements for firefighter pensions with effect from April 2006<\/em>\u2019 issued by the Department in 2006 provides guidance for fire and rescue authorities to implement the finance arrangements, including setting out which specific payments are eligible for top-up grant expenditure and which are not eligible. The guidance sets out that injury awards are not eligible expenditure for the top up grant.<\/p> <\/p> We understand that, since the changes were implemented in 2006, Essex Fire and Rescue Authority has incorrectly claimed certain injury payments as eligible expenditure through the top-up grant.
