Paragraph 78

In section 16 (provisions supplementary to sections 12 to 15), after subsection (1) there is inserted—

“(1A)

Subsection (1) above does not apply to the transfer of a school to a new site—

(a)

if the transfer is authorised by an order under section 16(1) of the Education Act 1944,

(b)

if at the time of transfer the school is intended to return to the existing site within three years, or

(c)

if in the case of a county school the new site is in the same area and the local education authority are satisfied that it is expedient that the school should be transferred to the new site either because it is not reasonably practicable to make to the existing premises of the school the alterations necessary for securing that they conform to the prescribed standards or in consequence of any movement of population or of any action taken or proposed to be taken under the enactments relating to housing or to town and country planning.”
