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 thank the Minister for his reply and for reading from the statement of priorities. Everyone involved talks about a plethora of initiatives, and what is exciting and new tends to attract more funding and is more focused. Earlier we had a debate in which the Minister conceded the point and changed a ““may”” to a ““must”” because we were told that perhaps it was not robust enough in guidelines and secondary legislation, and therefore should be in the Bill. We think this is too important to be set out anywhere other than in primary legislation. However, for the time being I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 31 and 32 not moved.] Clause 6 [Duty in relation to diversity and choice]: On Question, Whether Clause 6 shall stand part of the Bill?
