Childcare Bill
Public Bill Committees, 15 December 2005, 2:15 pm
Beverley Hughes (Minister of State (Children, Young People and Families), Department for Education and Skills; Stretford & Urmston, Labour)
I beg to move amendment No. 153, in page 53, line 9, leave out ‘“maintained nursery school” ’.
David Amess (Southend West, Conservative)
With this it will be convenient to take Government amendments Nos. 154 and 170.
Beverley Hughes (Minister of State (Children, Young People and Families), Department for Education and Skills; Stretford & Urmston, Labour)
These three Government amendments are wholly technical. Amendments Nos. 153 and 170 ensure that the definition of maintained nursery schools in section 76 of the Education Act 2002 is retained, as there are still references to maintained nursery schools in that Act. Amendment No. 154 is needed to clarify the wording of paragraph 9. The words “ceases to have effect” are unnecessary.
