Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

I am much obliged to the noble Lord for directing me. I was looking for an interpretation clause at the end of the part, but he has directed me to an interpretation clause near, but not at, the end of the Bill, where I was not expecting to find it. Of course, at this stage, I will withdraw the amendment, but I am somewhat loathe to concede him the victory because I like to know what I am reading when I read it. However, there are years of convention at the Minister’s elbow to encourage him in what he says. I suppose my laborious task must be to see how many times there will need to be a change in the Bill to obviate that definition at the end. I suspect I shall fail in the task, so, sadly, I beg leave to withdraw my amendment. Amendment 63 withdrawn. Clause 30 agreed. Clauses 31 to 33 agreed. Clause 34 : Crown servants and Parliamentary staff Amendment 64 not moved. Clause 34 agreed.
