Proceeding contribution from Baroness Walmsley (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 25 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Further Education and Training Bill [HL].


Further Education and Training Bill [HL]

From these Benches we share the concern of the noble Baroness, Lady Morris of Bolton, about the removal of powers from an elected Secretary of State to the unelected Learning and Skills Council. I shall not say anything more about the amendments because we, like the noble Baroness, are anxious to hear what the Minister says at this stage of our scrutiny of the Bill about the justification for this move.
