otherwise as an investment under section 51 of the Act;

“protection deposit” means a deposit, held at call, of
tuition, boarding, accommodation or other fees by or

Education Act 1989;

“special deposit” means a deposit held other than at call
on behalf of the Crown, or any local authority within the

(iii) otherwise than at call.

(2) Expressions defined in the Act have the same meaning in
this notice as they do in the Act.

  1. Rates of Common Fund interest—(1) The rate of
    Common Fund interest on deposits (other than investment
    deposits repayable at the end of fixed term or protection
    deposits) shall be that specified in Schedule 1 for the
    appropriate type of deposits.

(2) The rate of Common Fund interest on each protection
deposit associated with a particular private training
establishment shall be that specified in Schedule 2 for the
appropriate dollar range of the total of those deposits.

investment deposits repayable at the end of a fixed term
shall be that specified in Schedule 3 for the appropriate

interest payable on deposits made pursuant to an enactment
shall be the rate (if any) specified in the enactment.

(5) Despite subparagraphs (1), (2) and (3), in particular
cases or classes of case, Public Trust and the depositor may
agree on a rate of interest payable on investment deposits,
protection deposits or special deposits that is different from
the rate specified in Schedules 1, 2, or 3 and the agreed rate
then applies.
