These Regulations correct an error in the Education (Additional Secondary School Proposals) Regulations 2003 S.I 2003/1200 (“the principal regulations”).

In Regulation 12(2) of the principal regulations “from the local education authority ” should replace “by the local education authority”.

These Regulations shall come into force on 1st July 2003.
