Proceeding contribution from Baroness Morris of Bolton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 27 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Further Education and Training Bill [HL].

Further Education and Training Bill [HL]

My Lords, we are sympathetic to the amendments tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, to ensure that the council consults and listens to the Assembly, and is suitably open to the public. As I made clear when speaking to the previous group of amendments, anything that makes the Learning and Skills Council more transparent, accountable and responsive to local opinion and needs is a good thing. There is no other way that we can move towards a demand-led system. I hope the Minister will be able to reassure us on these points, and that he will consider these amendments carefully.
