(a) College Contributions1 Endowment grants from the College Contributions Fund The following amounts shall be paid to the college named in each case under the provisions of section 6 of Statute XV (Supplement (1) to Gazette No. 4633, 9 October 2002, p. 129) as grants for the enlargement of the permanent endowment of those colleges: [table here] 2 In Council Regulations 1 of 2005 (Gazette, Vol. 135, p. 1110) concerning College Contributions, delete existing regulation 2 and substitute: '2. The sum payable by each college under section 5 until 2008 shall be calculated as follows, the tax bands and tax rates for a particular financial year being decided by Council by regulation on the recommendation of the college Contributions Committee before the end of that year.' [This regulation authorises the endowment grants which Council has decided, on the recommendation of the college Contributions Committee, to make out of the accumulated balance of the college Contributions Fund. The sums listed under 'Endowment Grant I' are to be paid to the college concerned as soon as possible. The sums listed under 'Endowment Grant II' are maxima, the precise sum in each case to be determined according to the success with which each college has met certain conditions laid down by Council on the recommendation of the college Contributions Committee. The change in Council Regulations 1 of 2005 makes it clear that contributions made in Hilary Term 2008, based on the accounts for 2006–7, will be the last under the current scheme.] (b) General Purposes CommitteeIn Part 2 of Council Regulations 15 of 2002, concerning the General Purposes Committee of Council (Supplement (1) to Gazette No. 4634, 16 October 2002, p. 228, as amended with effect from 8 May 2003 and on 23 March 2006, Gazette Vol.133, p. 1335, Vol. 136, p. 836) insert new regulation 2.7(2) as follows and renumber existing regulations 2.7(2)–(7) as 2.7(3)–(8): '2.7 (2) strategic issues relating to risk management;'.
