As I have previously indicated, it is anticipated that the functions being transferred from IfATE to the Secretary of State relating to the development, approval, review and revision of apprenticeships and technical education will largely be exercised by Skills England. The amendment creates a requirement to set out publicly those functions that Skills England is taking on and the impact of that. Transitional arrangements will support a seamless transfer to enable Skills England to pick up the baton from IfATE and continue core work with employers to shape apprenticeships and technical education, as part of its wider remit.
