HC Deb 15 July 1998 vol 316 cc486-7

Lords amendment: No. 93, in page 58, line 30, leave out ("and those appointed by the local education authority") and insert— ("(b) those appointed by the local education authority, and (c) any co-opted governor nominated by a minor authority.")

Mr. Byers

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

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this, it will be convenient to discuss Lords amendments Nos. 147, 236, 241 to 243, 245 to 254, 361 and 392.

Mr. Byers

I get to move all the most exciting groups of amendments. This group is another largely technical one, this time concerned with matters related to school governance. The amendments cover, for example, provision for transitional arrangements, for reconstituting governing bodies to enable them to operate from an appointed day, transitional regulations to allow for certain governors to remain in post even when they do not comply with the requirements of the new definition, and removing reference to instruments and articles of government contained in previous legislation. They were agreed without any great controversy in another place.

Lords amendment agreed to.
