21.Section 6 of this Act inserts a new section 9F into the 2005 Act.
22.This new section obliges the Scottish Ministers to impose a condition of funding that the Council must, when making a payment to a fundable post-16 education body under section 12(1) of the 2005 Act, require that the fundable body has in place a conflict of interest policy that contains the list of requirements set out in section 9F(1). Section 9F(2) defines a “registrable interest” for these purposes, and the list of such interests is amendable by regulations.
