The Education (Student Loans) Regulations 1991 establish the legal framework for student loans in Great Britain, enacted under the authority of the Education (Student Loans) Act 1990. These regulations detail the operational aspects of the student loan system, including its commencement and territorial applicability. They also specify the revocation of previous related statutory instruments, consolidating the legal provisions for student financial aid.

As a statutory instrument, The Education (Student Loans) Regulations 1991 are primarily regarded for their legal and administrative function rather than for public reception. Its authority stems directly from parliamentary legislation, and its effect is to implement and supersede previous regulations concerning student loans. The document serves as a critical reference for understanding the legal basis of student financial aid in the UK during that period.
