Section 8 reads: "Section 30 of the Act of 2001 is amended by substituting "Subject to section 24(7) (inserted by section 6 of the Education (Amendment) Act 2012) of the Education Act 1998, a person who" for "A person who". Amendment No. 41 reads "In page 9, line 41, to delete "section 24(7)" and substitute "subsection (8) of section 24". I am told this is predominantly a technical amendment.

Section 8 provides for a minor change to section 30 of the 2001 Act to cross-reference the amendment of section 24 of the 1998, provided for in section 6. Section 30 of the 2001 Act has not yet been commenced. That is the Teaching Council Act.
