Education Bill

I am sorry to come back, but the key word at the beginning of Amendment 126ZBA is ““including””. This is not an exclusive list, so whether it is a long list or a short list is to some extent irrelevant. We are not going to have a debate about whether something has been excluded once the word ““included”” is in it. The key thing is that in statute it would be a requirement to consult the local authority. That is what his noble friends are after.
