otherwise be provided for the pupil.

(3)
Condition B is that payment of the full amount of the charges in respect

of the board and lodging would involve financial hardship to the pupil’s

parent.

(4)
If the authority is satisfied that condition A is met, the authority must pay

the full amount of the charges in respect of the board and lodging to the

proprietor of the Academy.

(5)
If the authority is satisfied that condition B is met, the authority must pay

to the proprietor of the Academy so much of the charges in respect of the

board and lodging as, in the opinion of the authority, is needed to avoid

financial hardship to the pupil’s parent.

(6)

otherwise be payable by the pupil’s parent, to the extent that it receives a

payment from the local authority in respect of those charges under

subsection (4) or (5).”’.
