Find out more Coronavirus Bill Share 23 March 2020 Volume 674 Proceedings resumed (Order, this day). Considered in Committee (Order, this day). [Dame Eleanor Laing in the Chair] The Chairman of Ways and Means (Dame Eleanor Laing) I have a few things to explain before we begin Committee stage. For understandable reasons, a large number of manuscript amendments have been tabled by the Government today, and in fact a large number of other manuscript amendments have, unusually, been allowed today as well. Members therefore need to make sure that they are working from the right version of the notice paper and that they have the latest version of the grouping and selection list, although I should explain that there is one group. Government amendments 79 to 82 on extradition are on a separate supplementary notice paper, and a revised grouping and selection list will be issued shortly. The late appearance of these amendments is due not to Government action but to a mistake on the part of the Public Bill Ofce, but, lest anybody complain, I will defend the Public Bill Ofce, because they have done a marvellous job today. I have seen it over the last few days, and the people who work here have worked miracles to get us to this stage in such good order. The Business of the House motion, which the House agreed before Second Reading, allows the Chair discretion at the end of the time allowed for Committee—in this case, that falls at exactly 10 pm—to call non-Government amendments and new clauses to be moved formally https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2020-03-23/debates/1BF3C655-EAD2-45DF-BAE2-30052908F7E6/CoronavirusBill 1/122 25/03/2020 Coronavirus Bill - Hansard at that stage for separate decision.

From the Commissioner’s report, I am encouraged by the numerous positive developments at the college, including sound and effective governance and leadership, excellent systems and controls to develop and monitor curriculum and quality, and the progress that has been made since the college’s most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2017. Notwithstanding these achievements, it is also clear from the Commissioner’s report that significant issues remain. I urge you to implement the Commissioner’s recommendations to further strengthen college governance and to address those issues which challenge the college’s long-term financial sustainability, including the tight cash position and delayed campus relocation project. I have accepted all the recommendations of the FE Commissioner. A copy of the assessment is provided with this letter. The assessment and my letter will be published on gov.uk. Once confirmed, the intended publication date will be shared with you. I have written separately to the following local MPs, whose constituencies are served by the college, to inform them of the FE Commissioner’s findings: • Stuart Anderson MP Wolverhampton South West • Jane Stevenson MP Wolverhampton North East • Rt Hon Pat McFadden MP Wolverhampton South East • Marco Longhi MP Dudley North • Rt Hon Gavin Williamson MP South Staffordshire Yours sincerely, Gillian Keegan MP Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Apprenticeships and Skills .
