Proceeding contribution from Bishop of Manchester (Bishops (affiliation)) 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. As always he shows great sympathy for the issues raised from the Bench of Bishops. I am also grateful to the noble Baroness, Lady Morris, and to the noble Lord, Lord Dearing, for their support and the points they contributed to the debate. I have to confess that I am slightly disappointed with what the Minister has said, but remain intrigued by the possibilities that have now arisen. I look forward to hearing the results of the little inquiry that will be going on within his team. Meanwhile, on behalf of my colleagues on the Bench of Bishops, I hope that the discussions will continue and I look forward to later debates when we can address these issues again. For the moment, I withdraw my opposition to the Question that this clause should stand part of the Bill. Clause 6 agreed to. Clause 7 [Consultation by the Council]:
