Proceeding contribution from Lord Jones (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 26 February 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Regional Learning and Skills Councils Regulations 2007.


Regional Learning and Skills Councils Regulations 2007

I thank the Minister for her exposition. I support the regulations. It is clear that a world-class skills base by 2020 is a most necessary objective for Britain with regard to keeping what is left of, for example, her manufacturing base. It is good to know that the councils have been given leadership in the form of setting out a strategy for the years immediately ahead. Can my noble friend indicate the salary that will be paid to council chairmen? Salaries might vary, but what sort of salary and how many days, if such it shall be? Are any female chairmen yet in post? What might a member of a council be paid? Could the Minister expound on the interface between the colleges of further education and these councils? Is there any likelihood that the relationships will be good?
