John Patten

Secretary of State for Education

18th February 1994

This Order amends the Education Act 1993 (Commencement No.2 and Transitional Provisions) Order 1993 by providing a further transitional provision so that where, in relation to a school which has held a ballot of parents on the question whether grant-maintained status should be sought for the school, the Secretary of State exercises his powers under section 61(11) of the Education Reform Act 1988 to declare the ballot void and require a fresh ballot to be held, the power in section 31(3) of the Education Act 1993 applies. That section empowers the Secretary of State, where the fresh ballot is to be held in the school year following that in which eligibility to vote in the ballot declared void was required to be determined, to specify a date which will be the effective date for determining eligibility for the fresh ballot.
