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]
Amendment No. 41 in this group is intended to ensure that local authorities remain involved in decisions affecting children and young people who fall under their responsibility. Clause 17 gives the LSC the power to intervene, sack, replace or direct the governing body of a college, sack members of staff and direct the college to collaborate with other organisations. These powers are very widely drawn and will have a great influence on all students in FE colleges. With such powers being given to an unelected body, does not the Minister feel that some consultation with local authorities would be sensible before they are used?
