I move amendment No. 209:

In page 110, to delete lines 12 and 13 and substitute the following:

"

".

Amendment No. 209 is a technical amendment to align the repeal of provisions in the Universities Act 1997. The other provisions being repealed are set out in Schedule 1 of the Bill. Amendment No. 210 provides for the repeal of section 58 of the Technological Universities Act. This is the section that applies to technological universities in respect of which governing authority under section 12(1) applies, and is to follow the incorporation of an additional institute of technology into the technological universities governing body under section 12(2). This section provides for the appointment of the new larger governing authority. Within six months, section 58 will no longer be relevant due to the changes being introduced under this Bill and therefore section 58 will be repealed.
