Clause 18
Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill
10:15 am
Siôn Simon (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills; Birmingham, Erdington, Labour)
If a Welsh sector skills council ceases to exist or a framework has to be changed, Welsh Ministers will need the authority to which the hon. Gentleman has referred to make the changes. Under the clause, Welsh Ministers would have to notify themselves formally of having made such a change. That is clearly absurd, hence the need for the amendment.
