Clause 60 - Power to require lea to obtain advisory services
Education Bill
4:45 pm
Mr Stephen Timms (Minister of State (School Standards), Department for Education and Skills; East Ham, Labour)
We will introduce guidance on the way in which LEAs might use external partners. The hon. Gentleman has attached guidance to the wrong part of the clause. I accept the need for guidance, which might include model contracts, to simplify matters. On that basis, I hope that he will withdraw his amendment.
