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]

At Second Reading I spoke in support of a move to the regions, but I share the concerns expressed about the need for the council to relate to local requirements. The argument for the new powers for FE colleges is their need to respond quickly to local needs. That is the case, but I cannot see a vision for the LSC to relate to here. This needs to be addressed.
