Minor or consequential effects 2
163 The following provisions that apply to England have effects outside England, all of which are, in the view of the Government of the United Kingdom, minor or consequential:
Clause 14: Support for lifelong learning
164 Clause 14 has minor or consequential effects in Scotland and Northern Ireland because it modifies section 22 of the Teaching and Higher Education Act 1998 which in part extends to those administrations for the purpose of applying those provisions where a recipient of a loan made under the law of England and Wales has moved to Scotland or Northern Ireland.
Clause 15: Lifelong learning: amendment of the Higher Education and Research Act 2017
165 Clause 15 has minor or consequential effects in Scotland and Northern Ireland because it amends the definition of "higher education courses" which, by virtue of section 83 of HERA 2017 can be traced through to the definition of English higher education provider – a term used in section 79 of HERA 2017. Section 79 requires any body providing services to an English higher education provider to provide certain information to the Secretary of State. It extends to Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Subject matter and legislative competence of devolved legislatures
166 Clauses 1 to 9, 12 to 13, and 16 to 22 extend to England and Wales and apply to England, but do not apply anywhere else. Corresponding provisions could and have, been made by a devolved legislature on these subject matters.
167 Clause 25 extends and applies to England and Wales, and does not apply anywhere else. Corresponding provision could be made by a devolved legislature.
