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]

The Minister has already said that the power is used very seldom. If the Secretary of State has the ultimate powers of direction, there is no particular need to alter the existing provision. We could leave it as it is under Learning and Skills Act 2000, which provides that the Secretary of State holds these powers.
