Michael Fallon

Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Department of Education and Science

20th August 1991

Section 39 of the Education Reform Act 1988 requires schemes for financing county and voluntary schools made under Chapter III of Part I of the Act to provide for the delegation by the local education authority concerned to the governing bodies of all secondary schools and primary schools with 200 or more registered pupils maintained by them of the management of each school's budget share for each financial year. Under section 41 of the Act the Secretary of State is empowered to amend section 39 and to make consequential amendments to other provisions of Chapter III, so as to require schemes to provide for financial delegation to all primary schools.

These Regulations amend section 39, so that from 30th September 1991 it requires schemes to provide for financial delegation to all county and voluntary schools, and make consequential amendments to other provisions of Chapter III of, and Schedule 4 to, that Act. By virtue of section 40 of the Act a scheme's provision for financial delegation will not apply during the scheme's "initial period" (a period of 3 years from the scheme's entry into force) until a date specified in the scheme.
