HL Deb 05 July 1990 vol 520 cc2333-4WA
Lord Denning

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Following the first sentence of their Answer of 26th June (HL Deb., col. 1607), whether an order under Section 2(4) of the Education Act 1973 should have been limited to the area of benefit prescribed by that subsection, namely the locality served by the voluntary school; and whether that area was extended by the amendment made for the future by Section 112(3) of the Education Act 1988 and, if so, in what respects.

Baroness Blatch

Orders made under Section 2 of the Education Act 1973 authorise the diocesan authority to use the endowments dealt with by the order either in connection with denominational voluntary schools or partly in connection with such schools and partly in other ways related to the locality served by the voluntary school. The amendment made by Section 112(3) of the Education Reform Act 1988 simply extends these arrangements to include references to grant-maintained schools.
