Proceeding contribution from Baroness Williams of Crosby (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 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 am very grateful to the Minister for giving way for a moment. I fully agree with everything that he has said, but I am concerned that there are still some parts of the country where the staying-on rate is well below the national average. I agree that it may well improve but if there are 500,000 pupils coming out of the secondary system, while coincidentally in some parts of the country there has been a low staying-on rate that is only slowly beginning to improve, there is a danger that the first-rate sixth form or tertiary college may find it difficult to continue expanding in the way that he was talking about.
