If immediately before the date specified in a notice under section 7 or 14 the school does not have a delegated budget, the suspension of the governing body's right to a delegated budget is by virtue of this sub-paragraph revoked with effect from that date.

If a notice under paragraph 1 of Schedule 15 to the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (suspension of delegated budget for mismanagement etc) has been given to the governing body before the date specified in a notice under section 7 or 14 but has not yet taken effect, the notice ceases to have effect on that date.

During the interim period, the local authority may not exercise the power conferred by section 8 (power to suspend right to delegated budget).

Sub-paragraph (1) is to be construed in accordance with section 49(7) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998.
