I beg to move amendment No. 55, in clause 22, page 12, line 4, leave out from ‘area’ to end of line 6.

Clause 22 provides for a local education authority to serve a penalty notice——this is precisely what we discussed a few moments ago in relation to employers——and sets  up the circumstances under which the notice can be published. The problem with the clause is that it is clumsy. There is no clear line of accountability in respect of a person who lives in one local education authority area and works in a different one. The amendment is probing. It aims to allow the delegation of the task from one authority to another. I hope that the Minister will deal with it in a way that will satisfy a reasonable complaint about the Bill.
