Proceeding contribution from Lord Dearing (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 5 July 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Education and Inspections Bill.


Education and Inspections Bill

I thank the Minister for his reply and I am delighted that there is no difference whatever in the House on the objectives. My only concern is that when the 720 pages of this Bill, its regulations and Explanatory Notes descend on a children’s services director, he will remember that there is a Children Act 2004 as well. What do you do when 720 pages of legislation land on your desk? You have to get on with it. I worry that in getting on with this, the other legislation will be overlooked. Let us think about it. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 4 to 10 not moved.] Clause 1 agreed to. Clause 2 [Duties in relation to diversity and choice]:
