Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Dearing (Crossbench). It was answered on Monday, 29 October 2007.


Children: Paid Work

Question
My Lords, will the Government consider giving guidance to the Learning and Skills Council so that sufficient funding is given to bodies that organise work experience to ensure that children can work safely in the premises of small to medium-sized firms and that those firms are not discouraged from offering such opportunities?
Answer

My Lords, such guidance is available but I am sure that it can always be improved. I shall draw the noble Lord’s remarks to the attention of the Learning and Skills Council.
