Academies Bill [Lords]

I am not a lawyer, but one of the phrases that people often use is ““for the avoidance of doubt””. Given the magnitude of the decisions that could be entered into, I would have thought that, for the avoidance of doubt, it should not be beyond the wit of us all to list some of the groups that we think it should be essential to consult—local authorities, parents and so on—and then to have a phrase at the end such as ““and others as the school governing body thinks appropriate””.
