Proceeding contribution from Baroness Sharp of Guildford (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]

Does the Minister not agree, however, that the Secretary of State is an elected Member of the other place and, through the process of being elected, has some democratic legitimacy? One of the problems with transferring this power to the LSC—the issue about which the noble Lord, Lord Norton of Louth, is concerned—is that we are transferring these responsibilities from someone who has some democratic legitimacy to a body that has none.
