Is it appropriate not to have a definition of "further education" in the Bill? Is that not the normal practice? We are discussing the "Further Education and Training Bill 2013" and "further education" is mentioned in other parts of the Bill. While it may be difficult to come up with a definition of "further education", at the same time is it a good idea not to have it defined in the Bill? A strategy is different from a definition. A strategy is not the place in which to define what should be in it. I have a question mark over it. Will there be time to consider this issue again?
