My Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 122 and 123. Paragraph 3 of Schedule 3, removed by Amendment No. 122, was originally intended simply to clarify the scope of Section 114(2) of the 1944 Act. On further examination, however, it serves more to call into doubt the application of Section 114(2) to other aspects of the school's running costs and is thus better removed.

Amendment No. 123 simply updates other legislation to take appropriate account of this Bill's revision of education law.

Moved, That this House do agree with the Commons in the said amendments.—(Baroness Hooper.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
