such changes have not already been taken into account in any determination or redetermination of that school’s budget share within the meaning of the 1996 Act for a preceding financial year; and

(b)

such determination or redetermination as is proposed in the financial year commencing on 1st April 1999 could also have been made in the financial year beginning on 1st April 1998, as a determination or redetermination under the terms of the authority’s scheme in force in that year or, as a consequence of a revision to that scheme, could have been made as part of the initial determination of a school’s budget share for the financial year beginning on 1st April 1999.
