Proceeding contribution from Baroness Morris of Bolton (Conservative) 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]

If I was being disparaging—I thought I was being more despairing—I can assure the Minister that that was towards the Government and certainly not towards further education colleges. We on these Benches are huge supporters of FE colleges. The Minister talked of remedial work being only a small part of the work of colleges, but many to whom we have spoken in the sector tell of their frustration in trying to help their students to reach their full potential when more and more are joining them having achieved only level 1. However, I thank the Minister for his explanation about the different committees in Clause 5.
