Admissions to county and voluntary schools
5.—(1) Paragraph (2) below applies to a transferee authority during the preliminary period in respect of any county or voluntary school for which the local education authority is not the admissions authority.
(2) Where this paragraph applies a transferee authority may make such a proposal as is mentioned in section 26(4) of the 1988 Act and, where it does so, section 26(4) to (10) and section 27(5) and (7) of that Act shall, subject to paragraph (3) below, apply accordingly.
(3) In its application by virtue of paragraph (2) above section 27(7) of the 1988 Act shall have effect as if the reference in that section to the local education authority were a reference to the transferee authority by which the proposals are made.
