Proceeding contribution from Lord Adonis (Labour) 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]

We do not accept that that ultimate transfer has taken place. As the noble Baroness will be aware, the Bill also secures the Secretary of State the power to direct the LSC as to the proper exercises of its functions under Section 56A. If the Secretary of State, in his role as ultimate custodian of the education system and an elected Member of the other place, takes the view that the Learning and Skills Council is acting unreasonably, he has a power to act in this regard.
