Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

I am trying to clarify that, under Section 56A(2) of the 1992 Act, the grounds for intervention that exist currently for the Learning and Skills Council are the same as they will be for local authorities in the future. Those include mismanagement by the governing body, failure to carry out a statutory duty, the college acting unreasonably or underperformance of the college. I am advised that local authorities will have to act proportionately in response to a breach. The noble Lord, Lord Elton, asked about notifying the Secretary of State. The local authority will have to notify the YPLA and the Secretary of State of the decision to intervene and the grounds for that and then inform the college.
