(a)confer discretion on the local education authority [F1or, in the case of a grant-maintained school, on the governing body of the school] with respect to any matter [F2and provide for any discretion so conferred on a local education authority to be exercisable instead by the governing body of any school to which section 44 or 45 of the Education Reform Act 1988 for the time being applies];

(a)so far as it relates to remuneration, that the remuneration of teachers to whom the order applies shall be determined, and paid to teachers by local education authorities [F4or, in the case of teachers in grant-maintained schools, by the governing bodies of such schools], in accordance with the scales and other provisions set out or referred to in the order, and
(b)so far as it relates to conditions of employment other than remuneration, that the provisions set out or referred to in the order shall have effect as terms of the contracts of employment of teachers to whom the order applies;
