(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order enables the Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council to charge different prices for school meals in primary schools which it maintains. It also enables the governing bodies of the named schools in Bolton to charge different prices for school meals. These schools are included in the Order because they have a delegated budget for school meals.
Under article 1 the Order only has effect in respect of the authority and the named schools, and will be in force for a period of three years.
Article 2 exempts the authority from the provision in s.512ZA(2) of the Education Act 1996 which requires local education authorities to charge every person the same price for the same quantity of the same item.
Article 3 exempts the governing bodies of the schools from the provision in s.533(4) of the Education Act 1996 which requires governing bodies to charge every person the same price for the same quantity of the same item.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
