Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

I thank the Minister very much; that was a totally adequate and very satisfactory reply. I am extremely grateful to him for giving me all the reassurance that we need on this issue. As he says, time has moved on; we have had the interim report from Brian Lamb and are expecting the final report. As the Minister rightly points out, the new inspection regime has been introduced and we are now getting far more emphasis on special educational needs. In the light of all his reassurances, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 291 withdrawn. Amendment 292 not moved. Clause 218 agreed. Clauses 219 and 220 agreed. Schedule 15 agreed. Clauses 221 to 234 agreed.
