Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

My Lords, I thank the Minister for listening so very well. She has listened to a number of concerns that come from slightly different directions but that all bear on Clause 138. I hope very much that we can find ways in which the powers conferred on the Secretary of State by the clause are circumscribed in ways that eliminate risks. If we cannot, I suspect that our colleagues will say that the clause should not stand part, so there is a challenge for all of us in the next two weeks. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 240A withdrawn. Amendments 241 to 243 not moved.
