Proceeding contribution from Lord Dearing (Crossbench) 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]

How did you know? As a sidelight on leisure learning, I happen to have been looking into languages. We have a problem. I learnt that there has been a marked reduction in leisure learning of languages. Those are attended by people not after certification but who want to learn. The funding is not there. That is a pity because such classes are attended by people who want to learn rather than those who have to learn.
