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]

I have a lot of sympathy with my noble friend’s amendments, and I hope that the Minister will reassure us that these powers will be used only for high-level strategy rather than for the detailed day-to-day management that further education has had to suffer so far. FE colleges need consistency and long-term stability to develop their own way forward, and this is incompatible with a succession of directions from the centre.
