HC Deb 24 October 1972 vol 843 c1113

Lords Amendment: No. 163, in page 77, line 37, at end insert— (dd) the chief education officer of the Inner London Education Authority appointed by virtue of section 30(4) of the 1963 Act

Mr. Graham Page

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

The statutory requirement to appoint a chief education officer under Section 88 of the Education Act, 1944, is preserved in the Bill under Clause 110(4)(b), but the chief education officer of the Inner London Education Authority is appointed under Section 30(4) of the London Government Act, 1963, as well as under Section 88 of the 1944 Act. In order to preserve the requirement to appoint a chief education officer of ILEA, Section 30(4) of the 1963 Act needs to be included in Clause 110(4). That is the purpose of the Amendment.

Question put and agreed to.
