Since the creation of the Scottish Further and Higher Education Funding Council, ministers no longer have a direct interest in the funding issues of individual colleges, including what happens to the proceeds of any assets of which they dispose.I highlight the fact that the order exempts the colleges that are listed in it only from the requirement under section 7(4)(b) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 for charities to be free from ministerial control.
