Proceeding contribution from Hywel Williams (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Further Education and Training Bill [Lords].

Further Education and Training Bill [Lords]

I will be brief, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Plaid Cymru Members support clause 27. It is a substantial change, but leaving it out would be a substantial change, too. Of course, there will be new arrangements that might allow us to avoid some of the problems to which hon. Members have alluded. Education is rightly a devolved matter, and the new freedoms given to the Assembly under the clause are proper, reasonable and coherent. Proper scrutiny will be given to any Assembly measures by the Assembly itself.
