Further Education and Training Bill [Lords]

My hon. Friend has made a good point. I was worried when the Secretary of State had to resort to describing all those extraordinary costs as ““investments””. It is a funny investment for an organisation that is supposed to be committed to high standards in skills and training to spend £120 million on redundancy and administrative change.
