Section 2 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 requires every local education authority (LEA) to prepare a plan setting out the arrangements which they propose to make for the purpose of securing that the limit on infant class sizes imposed under section 1 is complied with at schools maintained by that authority. And section 3 of the 1998 Act requires the Secretary of State to make Regulations providing for the payment of grants to LEAs in respect of expenditure incurred by them for the purpose of securing that the limit is met at schools maintained by them.
