I move amendment No. 75:

In page 50, before Schedule 1, to insert the following new section:
66.--The Acts specified in columns (2) and (3) of Schedule 6 are amended to the extent specified column (4) of that Schedule.”.

These are technical amendments. There are many references to vocational education committees in legislation other than the Vocational Education Acts. They are commonly referred to in legislation dealing with public bodies generally. The purpose of these amendments is to make the necessary changes to relevant legislation in order that references to VECs will be replaced by references to the new education and training boards. All changes are done by way of textual amendment and are to be contained in a table contained in a new Schedule 6 to the Bill. This is set out in amendment No. 80.
