Proceeding contribution from Baroness Walmsley (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Further Education and Training Bill [HL].

Further Education and Training Bill [HL]

I thank the Minister for his reply, but there will already be an enormous amount of streamlining of the number of committees and meetings following the reorganisation that we are debating. We will remove 148 local councils, so if the Minister is after streamlining, he will already get that. The Ofsted board is different because it does not necessarily need the regional input that the Learning and Skills Council needs. It is particularly important to allow scope for that regional input. Will there be an opportunity for the board to co-opt additional members?
