(2) Where a pupil in attendance at a primary, intermediate or special school
is provided at the school with board and lodging, fees ... may, subject to
paragraphs (3) and (4), be charged in respect of the board and lodging [; but
if the school is a voluntary school the amount of the fees shall be subject to
the approval of the Department].

(3) Where a board considers that a pupil resident within its area should be a
boarder at a primary or intermediate school but that the parents of the pupil
cannot without hardship pay the fees chargeable under paragraph (2) the board,
in accordance with arrangements approved by the Ministry, shall

(a)if the school is under the management of the board, remit the fees in whole
or in part;

(b)if the school is under the management of another board or is a voluntary
school, pay to the other board or the managers of the voluntary school the
whole or part of the fees.

(4) Where a board is of opinion that a pupil resident in its area should be
provided with board and lodging at a special school, the board shall

(a)if the school is under the management of the board, remit the whole of the
fees chargeable for board and lodging;

(b)if the school is under the management of another board or is a voluntary
school pay, on behalf of the parent, to the other board or the managers of the
voluntary school the whole of the fees chargeable for board and lodging.

(5) Where, immediately before the date of the coming into operation of this
Article, a pupil was a boarder at a primary, intermediate or special school
and the fees for his board and lodging were for the period immediately
preceding that date remitted or paid in whole or in part by a former local
education authority, the board for the area in which the pupil ordinarily
resides may, under paragraph (3) or (4), similarly remit or pay in whole or in
part such fees as are payable in respect of any subsequent period.
