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]

I too support the amendment. As the noble Lord, Lord Sutherland, said, the effectiveness of London affects the effectiveness of the whole nation because so much is centralised there. Also it has a regional industry of immense importance—the City of London, which has distinctive needs. The question I put to the Minister is: why is there doubt such that he is saying ““may”” rather than having a decision to put to the Committee?
