(2)Where the board and lodging are provided for the pupil—

the authority shall remit the whole of the charges payable under this section.

the whole of the charges payable under this section shall be payable by the authority instead of by the pupil’s parent.
(4)The ground referred to in subsections (2)(b) and (3)(b) above is that, in the opinion of the authority concerned, education suitable to the pupil’s age, ability and aptitude and to any special educational needs he may have cannot otherwise be provided by the authority for him.

(a)such part of those charges as the authority consider ought not to be paid by the pupil’s parent in order to avoid such hardship as is mentioned in that subsection; or
(b)if in their opinion such hardship cannot otherwise be avoided, the whole of those charges.
