(i)the property concerned, and

(ii)any rights or liabilities of the local authority acquired or incurred for the purpose of the provision of further education there, or

(5)Subsection (4)(a)(ii) above shall not apply to any liability of the local authority in respect of the principal of, or interest on, any loan.

(6)References in this section to use for the purpose of the provision of further education are to use wholly or mainly for that purpose.
