§ Clause 6 [Short title, citation, construction and extent]:
§ BARONESS PHILLIPSMy Lords, this Amendment corrects the provision in Clause 6(1) for the collective citation of the Education Acts. The subsection is drafted in terms which assume that the other Education Bill before Parliament, namely, the Bill dealing with the government of colleges, will receive the Royal Assent first. In the event, this Bill has been the first to pass through both Houses. I beg to move.
