(1B)Arrangements made under this Act [F8or the 2004 Act] by an education authority for the placing of children in schools may include provision to give effect to any arrangements made under subsection (1A) above.

(1C) Where the arrangements for the placing of children in schools subsisting before the establishment of new local government areas under Part I of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 lead, as a consequence of such establishment, to school education for pupils belonging to the area of one education authority being provided at schools or educational establishments under the management of another education authority, nothing in this Act shall prevent such arrangements from continuing until they are changed by an education authority in accordance with this Act.]

(2)Where an education authority. . . F9 have provided school education with or without other services for any pupil belonging to the area of some other authority [F10or have provided additional support within the meaning of the 2004 Act for any such pupil], the education authority. . .
