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]

We support what the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Manchester and the noble Lord, Lord Northbourne, have had to say on the provision of students’ faith needs. Many colleges already have chaplaincies, but we feel that this provision should be available to all students. Spiritual and moral care brings enormous benefits to a student body and is a long-established part of higher education. The lack of statutory spiritual direction for FE colleges is an anomaly, and I hope that the Minister has listened carefully to the right reverend Prelate and will take on board these arguments.
