Commentary on provisions of the Act Section 9: Report on exercise of the Secretary of State’s functions
Section 9 sets out that within six months of Section 3 coming into force (the provision that abolishes IfATE), the Secretary of State must lay before Parliament and publish a report about which of the functions previously held by IfATE will be exercised by an executive agency known as Skills England.
	The report must also include information about the impact of the exercise of the relevant functions (those transferred by the Act) on apprenticeships and technical education in England.
