As I mentioned towards the beginning of the Committee Stage debate, the Bill on its publication provided for the repeal of all the Vocational Education Acts. However, VECs also are referred to in other legislation and, consequently, the original schedule has been expanded to provide for the repeal of a small number of provisions of non-VEC Acts but which contain a reference to a VEC or to VECs and which are no longer considered relevant. The purpose of this amendment is to replace the existing table of provisions to be repealed with a new table.
