Presiding Officer, as you rightly say, this group of amendments all fall within the category of minor and consequential. Amendments 27 and 32 essentially tidy up the Bill in light of the Stage 2 amendments. Amendment 27 removes section 5(6), which is no longer needed since the Assembly procedure for the code was changed at Stage 2 from draft negative to affirmative. Amendment 32 simply updates the cross-reference further to amendments made at Stage 2. Amendments 44, 45 and 49 remove requirements for the Secretary of State's agreement to the making of regulations by Welsh Ministers—hurrah—[Laughter.]—sorry, that's not very Government-like, is it, really, but old prejudices are hard to leave behind—specifically in respect of existing regulation-making powers relating to the Special Educational Needs Tribunal for Wales, under the Education Act 1996, and equivalent powers in relation to the education tribunal set out in this Bill. These amendments are in accordance with agreements that have been reached with the UK Government. Amendments 48, 50 and 51 are consequential on these amendments. Finally, amendments 52 and 53 are consequential amendments to the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 and Equality Act 2010 arising from this Bill. Amendment 52 removes a redundant reference from Schedule 6 to the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007, whilst amendment 53 makes the law on rights of appeal to the upper tribunal from the educational tribunal in relation to disability discrimination claims more transparent. Thank you, Presiding Officer.
