Proceeding contribution from Earl of Listowel (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Education and Inspections Bill.


Education and Inspections Bill

I shall not detain the Committee for more than a moment, but I had not realised that the Government had quadrupled their investment in the education of children in the juvenile estate between 2002 and 2005. I warmly welcome the commitment shown by the Government to these children. I also welcome what the Minister has said about the continuity of education and the fact that school rolls will be kept open for four months. That is an important step forward, which I welcome. It was news to me.
