28.—(1) The governing body of a maintained school which has a delegated budget(1) may determine to pay a member of that governing body or any associate member payments by way of allowance referred to in paragraph (2).
(2) Such payments by way of allowance are in respect of expenditure necessarily incurred for the purpose of enabling the governor or associate member to perform any duty, being either payments made under regulation 30, or payments at a rate determined by the governing body, and made on provision of a receipt for the relevant amount.
“Delegated budget” has the same meaning as at Part 2 of the 1998 Act.
