I move:
Schedule 2, item 5, page 6 (line 20), omit
‘(8A) A course for a degree of Master is a Level M course.’, substitute
‘(8A) A course for a degree of Master (or equivalent) is a Level M course.’.
I dealt with the amendment extensively in my remarks. The Minister for Education, Science and Training has given me the courtesy of indicating, as I myself said, that it is of a technical nature to ensure that particular master’s equivalent degrees are included within the purview of the legislation, which was said to be the intention. The minister has also indicated that she has no difficulty with it, so there is no need for further or extensive remarks from me.
Question agreed to.
