§ Mr. Robin SquireLiverpool LEA applied on 18 May 1994 for a supplementary credit approval of £150,000 to enable the Blue Coat school to rationalise its PE provision. This followed a letter from the then Secretary of State dated 19 April 1994 to the chairman of governors of the Blue Coat school explaining that if the LEA were unable to meet its liability from within existing resources, it was open to the LEA to apply for an SCA. The LEA was informed on 10 March 1995 that its application had been successful. The SCA may be used in respect of expenditure defrayed or credit arrangements entered into or varied during financial year 1994–95.
