Commentary on Sections of the Act Part 6 – Notices and directions given by HEFCW Section 46 – Directions: general
133.If HEFCW give a direction to a governing body under the Act, that direction must be in writing. Having given a direction, HEFCW are able to vary that direction or revoke that direction by a later direction. Sections 42 to 44 do not apply to a direction that provides only for the revocation of an earlier direction, but they apply to a direction varying an earlier direction to which those sections did apply (see section 41).
