Deregulation Act 2015 Explanatory Notes

Control of governance of designated institutions conducted by companies

777.Paragraph 5 provides for section 31 of the FHEA 1992 to cease to apply in relation to England. Section 31 confers power on the Secretary of State to give directions for the purpose of securing that the articles of association of designated institutions conducted by companies are amended as specified in the directions. This amendment will ensure that the powers available to the Secretary of State in relation to the articles of association of designated institutions are reduced in line with other further education institutions in England. These powers will continue to be available to the Welsh Ministers in relation to designated institutions conducted by companies in Wales.
