F1 governors of any county school or voluntary school, have failed to discharge any duty imposed upon them by or for the purposes of this Act, the [F2Secretary of State for Education and Science] may make an order declaring the authority, or the . . . F1 governors, as the case may be, to be in default in respect of that duty, and giving such directions for the purpose of enforcing the execution thereof as appear to the [F2Secretary of State for Education and Science] to be expedient; and any such directions shall be enforceable, on an application made on behalf of the [F2Secretary of State for Education and Science], by mandamus.

F1 governors any sums which in his opinion they have properly expended for that purpose; and the amount of any sum so reimbursed shall be a debt due to the Crown from the authority, and, without prejudice to any other method of recovery, the whole or any part of such a sum may be deducted from any sums payable to the authority by the [F2Secretary of State for Education and Science] in pursuance of any regulations relating to the payment of grants.
