EDUCATION AND LIBRARIES (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1972 - SECT 48

48.[(1) Subject to a scheme which shall be framed by a board and approved by
the Department, where it appears to the board that a pupil at a grant-aided
school or institution of further education, being a pupil of such description
as is specified in the scheme, is unable by reason of the inadequacy or
unsuitability of his clothing to take full advantage of the education provided
at the school or institution, the board shall provide such pupil with or
contribute towards the cost of the provision of such clothing as is specified
in the scheme and is in the opinion of the board necessary to ensure that he
is adequately and suitably clad.

(2) A scheme under paragraph (1) shall also, subject to such conditions as are
specified in the scheme, authorise a board to defray the expenses of such
pupils attending the school or institution as are specified in the scheme
being expenses which in the opinion of the board are necessary to enable those
pupils to take part in the activities of the school or institution without
hardship to themselves or to their parents.]

(3) A board may, in accordance with the provisions of the scheme under
paragraph (1), recover from the parent of a pupil the whole or part of the
expenditure incurred under the scheme in respect of the pupil provided such
recovery can be made without causing hardship to the parent.

(4) A parent who is aggrieved by any action taken by a board under a scheme
made under paragraph (1) may appeal to the Ministry whose decision shall be
final.

(5) A board may lend to pupils without charge articles of clothing suitable
for physical education.
