I beg to move amendment No. 103, in clause 61, page 33, line 6, leave out from ‘authority’ to ‘in’ in line 7.

No more dulcet tones or poetry in this set of amendments, Mr. Bercow. Very briefly, clause 61 effectively replicates the provisions of clause 15, but the information shared by clause 61 is for the purpose of the Connexions service rather than that of promoting participation.

The wording does, however, differ between the two clauses. Clause 61 says:

“The Secretary of State may supply information, including social security information, to a local education authority or other person involved in the provision of services for young persons”,

whereas clause 15 says:

“The Secretary of State may supply information, including social security information, to a local education authority in England for the purpose of enabling or assisting the authority”.

The purpose of this amendment is to remove the phrase “or other person” from clause 61(1). It is too wide a description of who else can be supplied with this confidential information. Perhaps the Minister could spell out whom he has in mind and we can then refine the phrasing to incorporate the specific entity, or type of entity, he has in mind.
