EDUCATION AND LIBRARIES (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1972 - SECT 42



42.(1) Where a board is satisfied with respect to any pupil who has not
attained the age of eighteen years and is ordinarily resident within its area
that primary or secondary education suitable to his age, ability and aptitude
can best be provided by it for him at a particular grant-aided school and that
such education cannot be so provided for him unless board and lodging is
provided for him otherwise than at that school, the board may provide such
board and lodging for him under arrangements made by it and approved by the
Ministry.

(2) In making arrangements under paragraph (1) for a pupil, a board shall, so
far as practicable, give effect to the wishes of the parent of the pupil with
respect to the religious denomination of the person with whom he is to reside.

(3) Where, immediately before the date of the coming into operation of this
Article, a pupil is being provided with board and lodging under the provisions
of the enactments corresponding to paragraph (1) and repealed by this Order,
the board in whose area the pupil ordinarily resides shall, unless it for any
reason otherwise determines, continue from that date to provide board and
lodging for that pupil and treat them as provided under arrangements made and
approved under paragraph (1).

(4) Where a board provides board and lodging under paragraph (1) for a pupil,
the parent of the pupil shall, except in such circumstances as regulations
made by the Ministry provide for the remission of the whole or part of the
cost, pay to the board the cost to the board of providing the board and
lodging.

(5) Any sums payable to a board by virtue of paragraph (4) may be recovered
summarily by the board as a debt due to it.
