Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

I thank the Minister for his reassurances, and I am particularly reassured by what he said about the extra cost of employing a fully-qualified head teacher. Also, he said that the funding will be based on participation rates, which gives me great comfort. Because parents know a good thing when they see it, the centres of excellence will, I suspect, be the most highly subscribed and so be able to stay open. With that, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 281A withdrawn. Clause 195 agreed. Clause 196 agreed. Schedule 13 agreed.
