Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

My Lords, I thank the Minister and the noble Baroness, Lady Walmsley. I am sure that they will both agree that academies most likely will want to be partners. I still feel slightly concerned that it will be a duty rather than their right to do it. However, the Minister clearly understands the reasons behind my amendments and, given her strong reassurances, I feel that the Government will ensure that guidance is full and detailed. I am disappointed that the Minister insists on academies having the duty to be a partner on CTBs, but I will read carefully what she has said. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 191 withdrawn. Amendments 192 and 193 not moved. Clause 189 : Children’s Trust Boards Clause 189 : Children’s Trust Boards Amendments 194 to 198 not moved. Amendment 199 Moved by
