I move amendment No. 122:

In page 54, subsection (1), line 28, to delete "or a learner, as the case may be,".

There is some confusion on my part. I agree that the authority should recover any amount due and owing to it under the section from the provider, but how could it recover money from the learner? Perhaps the Minister of State might supply guidance. The idea of an authority pursuing a student to get money back is bizarre, but perhaps I cannot recognise what is in front of my face.
