References in this Order and in column 2 of any of Schedules 2 to 13 hereto to Conditions A to E in relation to any land transferred hereby shall be construed according to the following table—

Condition AA condition that if the land ceases to be used for the purposes of the council’s LEA functions before 1st April 2010, it is to be disposed of and the proceeds of sale, after deduction therefrom of a sum equal to the aggregate amount of any capital expenditure incurred since 1st April 1990 in relation to the land by the disposing council and of any expenditure so incurred in connection with the disposal of the land, are to be divided between the inner London councils in proportion to their populations of children of compulsory school age, based on the most recent returns to the Department of Education and Science available at the time of completion of the sale.
Condition BA condition that the land is to be brought into use wholly or mainly for the purposes of the council’s LEA functions by 1st April 1997 and that, if it is not so brought into use, it is to be disposed of and the proceeds of sale are to have deductions made therefrom and to be divided as if it were a disposal to which Condition A applied.
Condition CA condition that if the land ceases to be used wholly or mainly for the purposes of the council’s LEA functions, or if the council wishes to dispose of it, it must first be offered for transfer to each other inner London council. If one of those councils wishes to maintain the land for its LEA functions, the land is to be transferred to that council at a nil consideration or, if the disposing council has since 1st April 1990 incurred capital expenditure in relation to the land, at such consideration not exceeding the aggregate amount of that expenditure and of any expenditure incurred by the disposing council in connection with the disposal of the land as the disposing council may require. If more than one council wishes to maintain the land for that purpose, the Secretary of State may give a direction as to the council to which the land is to be transferred. If no council expresses such a wish, the land is to be disposed of at the earliest opportunity, with the proceeds of sale to have deductions made therefrom and to be distributed as if it were a disposal to which Condition A applied. If the land is transferred to an inner London council, this condition shall apply as it does to the initial transfer.
Condition DA condition that before publishing statutory proposals under section 14 of the Education Act 1981f1 which would lead to the maintaining council ceasing to maintain the school in question, the maintaining council shall first have enquired of all other inner London councils whether they wish to become responsible for maintaining the school. If one or more of those councils indicates its willingness to assume this responsibility, the maintaining council is to seek the Secretary of State’s consent to a transfer of responsibility under the provisions of section 166(6) of the Act. If the school is so transferred, the maintaining council may require the transferee council to pay to it a sum equal to the aggregate amount of any capital expenditure incurred by it since 1st April 1990 in relation to the land and of any expenditure incurred by the maintaining council in connection with the transfer of the land, and this condition shall apply to a transfer under this condition as it does to the initial transfer.
Condition EA condition that the maintaining council shall as soon as practicable after 1st April 1990 negotiate with any other inner London council wishing to use the facilities and services provided by the maintaining council on the land from that date for the purpose of agreeing terms and conditions for such use by such other council.
(3)

Without prejudice to the Interpretation Act 1978f2 or section 235 of the Act, any reference to the vesting of land by virtue of this or any relevant order shall be construed as including the vesting of any contractual licence for the use of land and of any right to use land arising by or under any statutory provision.

(4)

The provisions of this Order are subject to any contrary provision made by any relevant order.

(5)

Any provision in this Order vesting property shall be construed, unless the context otherwise requires, as including a reference to the vesting of rights and liabilities of ILEA in respect of any agreement for the hire or use by, or deposit with, ILEA of any such property.

(6)

Any reference in this Order to any rights or liabilities of ILEA includes a reference to rights or liabilities acquired or incurred by any predecessor in title of ILEA and vested in ILEA but excludes excepted rights and liabilities as defined in section 168(5) of the Act.

(7)

Unless the context otherwise requires any reference in this Order to—

(a)

a numbered article or Schedule is a reference to the article or Schedule in this Order so numbered; and

(b)
