Academies Bill [HL]

I am beginning to feel like the Minister, the way that I am being cross-questioned by the Labour Party. I am not a Minister; I am not a member of the Government. My first amendment faces exactly the problems that the noble Lord just raised. They are serious problems. The answer has to be properly thought out. It may take longer than this Bill to think about, but it ought not to take very much longer. Having said that, I have said more than enough tonight and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 160A withdrawn. Amendment 160B not moved. Clause 8: Charitable status of Academy proprietors etc Amendment 161 Clause 8: Charitable status of Academy proprietors etc Amendment 161 Moved by
