I was reading the note about directives 06/12 and 10/14. This might defuse some of the issues about school supply. A directive was given that where the accounting officer could be deemed the principal of a school, and they felt they were getting value for money and equality of standard, if they signed a statutory declaration, as the accounting officer for the school, they could deal with the supplier of choice. Can the witnesses explain that?
