The reasons for asking the House to agree to a shortened select committee process are fundamentally the same as the reasons why the bill is needed at all. First, the Teaching Council is expected to be fully self-funded through the ability given to the council by the Education and Training Act 2020 to fix fees to cover the costs of its funding. Secondly, the High Court judgment of February this year limited the council's ability to do this, plunging it into financial uncertainty. It is essential for the council, school system, and the teaching profession that this period of uncertainty is brought to a rapid end—something that only the quick enactment of this bill can do, and the quick turn-around.
