We will come back later in the Bill, probably on Tuesday, to some of the issues that have been touched on, but the amendment that I am moving is relevant to the specific way in which Skills England will operate in taking on some or all of the functions of IfATE. My fear, which I expressed briefly because we had a very short timescale at Second Reading, is that given the number of people currently transferable from IfATE, full- and part-time, which nudges 200, given the macro job that Skills England will need to do and given the way in which the policy framework was at least touched on on 24 September—I pay tribute to Richard Pennycook for being able to pull that together with the department—there is a real danger that IfATE will swamp Skills England at birth.
